Maybe if that is the head in the sand attitude then, there is a problem.
It should not be a Profess one thing and do another.
Hazing has been a very strong no-no as long as I can remember being a LXA.
Big school or small, it is still wrong by our By Laws.
To be open with a situation and not looked at as a few individuals maybe and not the total Chapter then that is short sightedness.
If, it goes back to s dont tell situation then it can get out of hand.
It sounds like poor judgement as JoinerLXA said to put Alums in who did have a hazing back ground and thank goodness run off.
The first time I heard New Associate was from George Spasyk in 1966 and we discussed it into the wea hours of the morning.
While it did not take effect until a few years later, LXA once again led in GreekDom with new inovations and ideas.
That is what LXA is supposed to be about, not like all of the rest.
To be honest, is supposed to be the correct way for LX's to do things. We are not followers, but leaders.!
The total idea is to look at the problem, get it corrected and not make a Scene out of it and turn it into a situation that is totally out of preportaion. Solve the problem and then carry on.
One problem does not make a Bad Chapter, just a stupid individual that can be cut away while the rest carry on.
Matt, I also hope that the neighbors are not LXA Chapters but other Greeks.
