Centennial Directory

The card I received is different. It says, "A brief telephone call will ensure your listing is completely accurate and up-to-date. Please, give us a call at your convenience within the next two weeks so that we may verify your information with you. CALL TODAY - TOLL FREE"

I did, and made some corrections and changes, even though I've lived where I am for 29 years.

Knowing the most recent initiation numbers at several chapters, I tried to find out if their numbers were also up-to-date, but they claimed not to have that information. How could they not when they're the ones putting it together?

I bought the 2003 directory, and the names for my chapter add up to 443. But as of the end of 2002 we had initiated 629. All the names and numbers are in LCA's database, so there is no excuse for this kind of discrepancy.

I have no intention of wasting my money on a new directory unless it is absolutely complete, with every single brother ever initiated into Lambda Chi Alpha unless they have a money-back guarantee. Do they?

Can anyone out there tell us why these directories are never complete in the first place? Why IHQ has all the names, but not all of them seem to make it into the book?
