True, but I also believe LXA fines chapters that do not send representatives. I also believe there is a provision that the zeta can be put on probation or colony status if it continues.

This is similar to people that complain about new state amendments that get passed here in Colorado, and when you ask "did you vote?" , they say "no" - so what right do they have to complain if they didn't at least attempt to have their voice heard?

When was the last time a chapter you knew actually sat down, read each and every proposal, and then voted on each one so that the representative would vote on it?

CU Boulder, Colorado State, and Northern Colorado have always done exactly that, so their delegates went with "directives" on how to vote, based on chapter feelings. Some of the chapter debates were very lively, I might add...

Many times chapters don't get the chance to do even that.

I think the chapter and delegates have no one to blame but themselves for not taking the opportunity to go over the proposed changes before GA.

I think for effectiveness and awareness, my method would be best. After all, how can you go against a rule that you agreed to and voted on?

GA is not a true democratic process. At it's best it is a representative democracy. At it's worst its a bunch of kids that don't know whats going on voting with the crowd.

Again, if they don't know what's going on, and just vote with the majority, why did the chapter pick them to be delegates in the first place? And, why didn't the chapter take the proposed legislation up for debate in front of the brotherhood?


RETURN THE POWER TO THE ZETAS!!! (LOL, I'm on my soap box now)

That's it, I'm starting the Confederacy of Zetas!!!!!! Who's with me!?!?!?!?!
