During my four years as an active, and holding high offices within the chapter, I have never seen any materials given by IHQ regarding issues being discussed at the GA. Maybe it was a clerical error, IHQ has been known to drop the ball when sending timely information.
I don't think it should be necessary to spend alot of $$$ and take improtant time out of a persons life to travel 1000's of miles to vote. Why not make it easier? Streamline the process.
My chapter was always hard up for $$$. We couldn't send a representative to every event. If the Zetas individually vote, no one is excluded. Also it would be a chance for alumni to vote as well. There are alot of dedicated alumni out there still involved, however they may not be able to make it to GA. Holding votes at the local LXA chapter would encourage alumni to still be invovled and have their voices heard. I'm an alumni, but I'm sure as heck not willing to spend the time and money it takes to get to GA. It's just not feasible for me. However, if there was voting at the local chapters, I would be more than willing to drive the 20, 30 or even 120 minutes it would take to vote.
Unfortunately I think IHQ doesn't want another method because they can then have more control over the voting. I guess you could relate this to the poll tests we were talking about earlier.
