Just got this from HQ. Most of us get this, but not all, so I thought I'd share:

Headquarters Message
Good Brothers,
The General Fraternity would like to encourage all of our members throughout the United States and Canada to keep those affected by Hurricane Katrina in our thoughts and prayers.
Several members of our organization, their loved ones, and cherished friends have been impacted by this tragic event -- some enduring great loss and hardship.
Over the course of the coming weeks, we will facilitate ways for you to lend assistance and support. We will be coordinating and communicating our efforts via FraternalRelief.org.
On behalf of the Lambda Chi Alpha staff, our faith, hope, and ever-present love is extended forward to those who find themselves in need and loss.
Yours in ZAX, Always

Chapters Affected
Upsilon Zeta @ Louisiana State University
Based on Biff's conversation with Brother Eric Eskew [eeskew1@lsu.edu]the chapter house is operational. Eric also explained that all members of the chapter have been acocunted for at this time. Several brothers are currently with family and assisting with substanitial property loss and there is a fear that some members may have lost loved ones to the storm.
Iota-Omega Zeta @ University of Louisiana - Lafayette
Staff have spoken to the father of our brother Evan Thompson who explained that all computers and phone lines are down on the campus because the main communication hubs in New Orleans was destroyed. Mr. Thompson advised that he is in constant "text" communication with Evan and all members of the chapter are accounted for and safe at this time. It is unknown how deeply the loved ones of our brothers at Iota Omega Zeta have been effected at this point.
Delta-Delta Zeta @ Spring Hill College
Staff have spoken to brothers at Spring Hill and all members have been accounted for and are safe at this time. Headquarters is aware that approximatley five seperate apartments in the same complex where a majority of the chapter resided have been damaged. Many brothers have left campus and are currently with family. It is unknown at this time if any brothers have lost loved ones.

Biff has spoken to Brother Richard Roberts and all members are safe and accounted for. The chapter house is feared to have been destroyed and reports range from it being totally submerged to also having it's roof blown off.

All members are currently displaced and it is likely that many brothers at this commuter campus have suffered loss of loved ones, not to mention tremendous loss of possesions.
