JP Morgan Thursday afternoon, announcement Friday to take effect essentially immediately? Maybe I'm making more of it than it is, but that does seem to support my thought in an earlier post that the Supreme Council saw something big on the horizon and tried to act quickly to fend it off. I don't know . . . .
Regardless, I think others are right—the action taken isn't likely to work and it risks significant backlash and harm of a different kind to the fraternity.
SAEalumnus or SOM, I'm just curious: Is there a way to force a mid-term vote by the Convention, such as by petition of a certain percentage of members of the Convention or of chapters, or can a vote like that only called by the Supreme Council on its own initiative? Or are there other options available to bring this up before the 2015 Convention?
