[Erik P Conard]

Hoosier, there were a lot of things not passed on to the rank and
file within our beloved Fraternity...
We did not amass a couple of hundred dead chapters by being
smart, or by trying to utilize a few alums outside of the Indy circle.
There are many instances where we were quick enough to stay
embarrassing situations...or avoid them.
Hall and Logan were masters of amelioration.
But, then, everybody has some dirty laundry.
HOWEVER, after a while you will discern why some of us have been so sour so long. This all did not happen overnight.
Efforts are being made to recapture the glory days...or to even get back on even keel. There are very few who know how to dig
us out, and the sharpshooters are still quite dull.
We still have not learned that a Fraternity can't be run from HQ, and I now do not think I will ever see it turn around in my lifetime.
