The Constitution and Statutory Code of Lambda Chi Alpha DOES allow for voting on issues by mail. It is up to each chapter to decide how it wants to vote. The method is used rarely. I have seen it used once in 12 years. I dont knwo how it is decided to use that method.
Of course, the political science major in me says that we do live in a representative democracy and not in adirect democracy. I liek the model of the representative democracy (speaking in terms of the US, not LXA) because people are stupid. I dotn want my fellow americans all deciding what becomes law and what dosent because most of them are phucking morons. Dont beleve me? Ever worked retail or food service? Think of the people you waited on daily. Yep, they're morons. Hell, I favor bringing back poll tests; not as a form of segregation, but just to keep stupid people from voting. Two quick and simple questions would have to be answered correctly; 1) How many U.S. Senators does your state have? and 2) Name any one of them.
I bet 50% of eligable registered voters woudl get one of the two, wrong.
Of course, I did see brothers who were delegates at GA who sat there and read the paper the whole time.
Also, there is very rarely groundbreaking legislation dealt with at GA. Big legislation comes up once a decade or so. its not like every time GA meets theres all these bills on the floor to dissolve LXA or quadruple dues or anything.
