[DeltAlum]

I suppose there might be a chance to negotiate away the deferred rush, but it may be that The University of Colorado has suffered enough from all of its internal strife along with the alcohol death this year.

They may be in a position where they have to clean up ALL of their problems, including a Greek System that is thought to be out of control

In our case, it's a moot point because we don't have a presence at Colorado anymore, but our Beta Kappa Chapter was at one time a huge force not only on the Boulder Campus, but all over the state and large parts of the West. It's alumni include one of the original 7 Mercury Astronauts, a former U.S. Senator who was also student body president and later president of the University of Northern Colorado (and most recently considered for the post of interim President of C.U., a number of pro athletes and men who are now in political and financial power positions in the Denver area.

I'm not sure a single one of them would walk across the street to support a new chapter or the fraternity system at Colorado.

In the Delt case, strike three and it's over.

It's sad, but they (the alumni) were burned numerous times because of the atmosphere of alcohol and drugs which at least were rampant in the Greek community at C.U. At one point, they donated $1.5 million to refurbish one of the most beautiful Delt Shelters in the country, only to have the new "brothers" trash it within six months.

I suspect if we ever considered re-colonizing C.U. (which is highly unlikely) that we would be happy with the changes.

Even if they worked just a little, it would be better than our last experiences in Boulder.

It's sad. But I said that before, didn't I?
