I think it's about time that LXA changes how it votes on the rules.
Instead of people just voting at GA, it should be more in tune with what the average member of LXA thinks.
How about this: On a yearly or semi-annual basis, IHQ will mail out a packet for proposed changes to LXA policy (the packet will also contain suggestions for the next vote in which the chapter has input in). Each chapter receives a packet. The chapter then calls a meeting, open to both active and alumni or any LXA in the area, and votes on whether their chapter supports or does not support each proposal by a simple majority vote. Then the chapter sends back their decisions to IHQ. A majority or 2/3's of the chapters must approve each proposal to become law.
In reality, simply voting at GA excludes about 95% of our membership, both active and alumni. If you want people to stick up for LXA, work to spread its word, uphold its ideals and give it $$$, I think IHQ would give the average member a much bigger say.
