Chapter Closed...Please Help.
Dear Brothers,
My name is Trey and i'm an Alumni of Texas Eta (Sam Houston State University). In Huntsville, Texas. As many of you Texas brothers know they removed our chapter this past semester doto on going problems.
The reason for the removal is our grades for that year, nationals required a 2.6 and we hit like a 2.55 and they pulled. Sad thing is we actually ranked 3/12 Fraternities for that year.
I am just looking for some advice on what to do now. I know that some of you have been through this (especially my friends at Texas Tech) and was wondering what road to take. My biggest factor (as ex chaplin) was i wanted to cut all the bad seeds. The ones who don't show, don't make the grades, just don't care...I felt that it would be better to be a fraternity of 20 dedicated brothers, than 40 some odd with 15 who could care less.
This is the first time we have been kicked off campus, every other fraternity on campus (other than theta chi i believe) has been through this once. What hurts the most is we were the oldest.
We have had are struggles just like anyone else (numbers, grades, housing, lack of alumni support) - But have never really gotten into this kind of trouble.
At first nationals said 2 years then 4 and now theres talks with older alumni of the chapter as to something else.
I am just looking for advice maybe from some of you who have been there, should we just wait it out? Or are there some things that we can do?
Like every other Chapter, we have our bad seeds, the ones we should have flushed out a long time ago. But our biggest two struggles have been 1. Lack of Alumni support and 2. Having no house for years (also doto a lack of alumni support).
Brothers, any information you could share with me (specially for those of you in Texas) would be great.
Thank you for your time,
Trey
