Glad to see them up and rolling. Welcome back. In answer to your question tho. I dont know the specifics here. Could have been the undergrads busted ass to get the chap back. But I have more times than not found that there tends to be a direct proportional relationship between alum support, cash, and the amount of time a chapter is closed. Ala UT-Austin. They were closed exactly 9 months in 1994-1995. I know 'cause 1) were right down the street from them. 2)We re-colonized them. 3.) we were friends with a lot of the undergrads who used to be there. 4) UT is #2 in the nation in terms of alum cash donated to 8741 founders road.

I have no problem with the policy that trash walks and money talks, I just wish IHQ would own up to it. It does make sense for us to colonize / recolonize in an area where alums can guide/support a new colony. But call a spade a spade. (if you call IHQ - they will tell you that it has been standard operating procedure to have a chapter closed for at least 5 years to allow current members to matriculate through.) Dont hide behind standards in regard to some schools and bend the rules for other schools. What was that I think I heard somewhere one time, Vir Quisque Vir? Why are they terrified of honesty? I am giving it the benefit of the doubt and assuming it had someting to do with the Bob London administration, and that IHQ has confessed its faults and sincerely tried to mend its ways.

We'll see.

Hey, as all of you know, I actively advocate an aggressive expansion policy, so the more chapters, the better. If my Zeta can be of any assistance to NMSU, PLEASE do not hesitate to let me know.

IMHO....

Thanks Life - I didn't realize there was such a strong remaining corp and alumni for NMSU - I had not heard very good things about them (of course, this was prior to their closing, so I guess that makes sense).

Always happy to see a new colony get up and running. There's a colony where I live, and, hopefully, they will be chartered somewhere in the next six months. It took 11 YEARS to get that one restarted, so, naught without labor (and patience) really pays off, as does persistance.

Are you coming to Denver for GA this summer? I'm only an hour away and will be there as well.

I'd like to congratulate the NMSU LXA colony on their recognization by IFC at NMSU.

Here's the link to the Greek Life newletter with the announcement:

The article mentions that the colony has 35 members, that's really wonderful!

Congratulations and best wishes...

Anyone know if there is still Lambda Chi at NMSU?

NMSU is another potential school for my son, who will be starting college next year.

[AZ-AlphaXi]

Here's the link to the list of fraternities at NMSU ... Lambda Chi Alpha is still listed .. although the link to the local web site doesn't work.

If you want to ask .. the greek life office is very responsive. Good luck to your son.
