Hi Pi,
Nope, that's just my chapter's old homepage. We've actually had several after that one but they've since been taken down.
No, we are not an active chapter at Umass, obviously. And since you have no idea of the situation of what happend (I will be getting there in another week or two on my journal/post so I encourage you to wait until then and then if you have any questions I will answer them for you) I really don't think you should be criticizing Gamma Zeta. But you are correct about Umass not pushing the greek system. Heck, several years ago the whole greek system was almost voided by the university.
"That clearly gives you right to just vacate the house you live in." Um, actually when the landlords have health code violations like growing mold, that does give us the legal right to vacate the house.
Again, you are correct Joe is a great guy and I have nothing against him. This isn't anything against him, I hope he does the absolute best job he can. But I'm not entitled to say we need people with more experience? We have had great relations with him. And the incident with LCAP being sued wasn't his fault at all. However, building a house does not mean you are qualified as a property manager for over 50 houses throughout the country. Finance and accounting is part of being a property manager, but only part of it. That's why LCAP has an accounting staff.
Taking a pay cut is not a qualification. It's nice, but that doesn't make you right for the job. He partly managed 1 house, near his home, not 50 across the country. In my opinion, that does not qualify him.
He founded eVision Technologies, Inc., a computer technology consulting company and that's pretty cool. Maybe you can explain to me, is that something to do with software/hardware/technology for accounting or doing actual accounting? Is he a registered accountant? I'm just wondering what courses in financial management he took. W.P.I isn't exactly known for their School fo Business.
But what about the others. How does a degree in electrical engineering qualify you for real estate manager?
Again, how do you know you can't find another candidate for the positions? I asked a simple question before, what are LXA hiring practices. How active are they in finding candidates? Do they just put an ad in a local paper? Do they use a job placement service? Do they advertise on Monster.com? What do they do to find the proper candidate? How much do they make? What are their salaries? If someone could answer those questions for me I would feel alot better and more confident. If they truly are the most qualified people we could find, then I will pledge to you right now that I will personally pay for a Gamma Zeta brotherhood event once they are reestablished.
But again, based on our experiences with LCAP (please read them again if you need to above) it was clear that at the time the people were not qualified to perform their duties, and then I find out they were promoted.
But you know, I do remember something Joe did say when he just helped LCAP and wasn't an official officer when he visited. He told us "Guys, LCAP is a business." Let me ask you, where was the whole "brotherhood" thing and faith hope and love, when LCAP tried to hold us to an illegal contract and illegally withhold our security deposits? Bet you didn't read that in the C & C. If LXA brotherhood is so strong, why a contract? You betcha, it all comes down to the $$$, no matter who, no matter what, no matter how.
God forbid someone says anything...BAD... about HQ. I forgot, they're all perfect and so is our fraternity. We've never had bad leadership before. Our founder was an absolute angel. We've never had millions of dollars unaccounted for. IHQ had never played favorites with chapters based on how much their alumni give as gifts. Nope, nothing bad has ever happend before.
You have to realize some things. It isn't as simple as just being a better LXA. WAKE UP! You are so naive.
I do like your house though at W.P.I. I actually went to a party there, probably some 3-4 years ago. I had some high school friends that went there and I visited them. You guys had a pretty good party, good DJ too. One thing I can say, you guys keep a tight ship there and a clean house. Give me a pm when you guys are having your annual Heaven and Hell party with the guys next door, maybe I could grab some prospetive from Umass in re-establishing GZ.
