More of a social issue than any other
Rules are Rules and laws are laws. A rule is a thing created by an organization that constricts things that we should (by our laws) have a right to do. I think these things that we are doing to our chapters are rules that are not needed. I agree we should deal with things on a chapter by chapter basis. Certain areas and chapters have certain problems. Why not deal with them by themselves as having national rules set to fix the problem which in turn hurt other chapters that havn't had any problems with the issue. For the most part I think this is how things are dealt with.
Getting back to the main issue though. Why do so many people think the old system was better. A lack of brotherhood/sisterhood. Believe it or not a lot of problems stem from too many rules. My house feels like a place where people live. Not a huge amount of brotherhood. Why? I have more rights if I live out of the house than if I live in. Not to sound dramatic, but our nation was formed on a platform of freedom which has been burrowed into our head for our whole lives. To give up rights to live in a place where we lose certain rights just to be able to be part of a organization which promotes brotherhood or sisterhood seems kinda ludicrious.
What I am saying is that there are problems. When you ask people straight out would you live in a 1970 house or a house today and they say the 1970, there is obviously something wrong. How do you fix it though? I'm not an alumni. I'm not a powerful person nationally. The main point was to get people(alumni) to think about what they are doing to their chapter by passing a bunch of rules.
Nothings perfect don't try to make it that way.
Thats just my two sense
