Here is the real problem!
Okay so here is the problem with Alumni and active relations besides the obvious old fart vs. change arguments. Mind you that I am an alumni and I am trying to be helpful. The reason alumni and actives do not get along is because of the differences in lifestyles. An alumni thinks of his time and energy as an asset and also thinks of the well being of the fraternity. The active wants to change things ever so slightly to make his mark. SO we have a situation analagous to... oh lets say the Roman Empire. So we are stuck in a situation of an alumni dictatorship with uprising from the actives (at least thats how our chapter thinks). We are told that we all have a say what happens in the house except financially we are controlled by a few alumni. We want something they don't... they threaten to pull money out and then they get their way. What kind of control is that? When 95% a house wants something you should think that we could get it. So here is my solution: If something is wanting to be changed, the house isn;t where it should be.
