1965, one person came back to PSU with an idea. With recruiting some guys and then others recruited it began to grow. No house during the first Semester, but found a rental house and everyone and I mean everyone broke contracts and we moved in and did a lot of fixing up to the way we wanted it.
The total idea was to affiliate with a National that was not represented on campus. ( I mention this manytimes on my posts, some people want to do something new and not go with the established groups).
As I mentioned, there were two groups attempting to come on campus and the College was going to allow only one. The other group heard that Beta Chi was going to be the one excepted and wanted to merge with us.
As the Founder and President, I decided that their members had to be voted on individually. They said all or nothing. So I said nothing. That was one of the dumbest things I ever did in my life and still think about that decision.
I had been turned down by all of the old line Fraterntys as they were not expanding at that time especially in State Schools.
My Law Professor suggested I talk to one Erik Conard the Teke advisor. (Yes, the Erick Conard of G C fame). He suggested Lambda Chi Alpha as a "Good Outfit" as when he was on the road for Teke, He had gotten to know a lot about LXA and had a lot of respect for them and felt it would be a good fit for PSU!
A letter was drafted and sent to LXA Headquarters.
