Who's at the bottom now?

[Erik P Conard]

Sometimes, in weaker moments, we crow when we see other
groups stumble.
We gloat when we note the bottom house is about to fold..
BUT...
when that chapter folds, who takes its place?
who becomes the weenies of the campus now?
and when that group fails, then who?
The only thing keeping some of us alive on campus at some
places is that job the non-Greek Director of Student Activities
is threatened if we go off campus....
And our anti-Greek students revel in the failure of
another chapter. We should be bringing on new groups
NOW...to increase our clout, not belittling the less fortunate.
We Greeks have different histories, albeit all with glory.
Think about it. If I'd gone somewhere else I might have
been an SAE or a Pike or a Sig instead of a Teke...they
are all good outfits with good intentions. Each time a
chapter folds, a part of you dies, too. Give that some thought.
Do not let this happen. Save a little time to hug each other,
and remember, what GDI ever comes back to his alma mater
and proudly points...this was MY dorm....Plan a party with another house, share ideas...the IFC originally was to HELP
the dues-paying chapters, not penalize them (the fewer the
rules the better and deferred rush is anathema to brotherhood)
Everybody is watching us...Wear your clean underwear. From
an old (TKE) alum who loved it all....Now go do even better!
