I'm not sure what the current state of the Slippery Rock chapter is, as it was at least 8 years ago since I was there. I believe the active chpater had numerous risk management violations, as well as, owed national a very large sum of money.
As much as I would love to see another LXA colony, there is a substantial risk in starting a colony that has operated under its own "underground" management. That is not to say some of the underground chapter's membership would be a good fit for a recognized colony, however some members would most not likely not be able to abide by today's standards. Thereby, the overall success of the colony would be at risk.
Personally, I would love to see LXA step up national recruitment efforts. I believe, over the last 15 years, we have substantially fallen behind the likes of SIgEp, Kappa Sig, and PIKA in terms of innovative, effective, and quality recruitment. If anyone has any doubt as to this, I would recommend checking out the recuitment section of the SigEP national site. The resources there are amazing. Their colonization process is also something that LXA can learn from and improve upon.
