Update
After our 4/20 party, we were put on probation by our nationals, alumni, and the university....TRIPLE SECRET PROBATAION.
With that, we have some sanctions we have to take care of before we're off. The only one I'm concerned about is alcohol on the property. We can't get guys to show up without the promise of booze, so it's hard to say what to do from this point.
On the bright side, we have a new exec board (which includes me) that is very eager to bring in some new, more quality guys. When I say quality, I mean guys that don't just want to drink all day. OUr president is our strongest ever, and he's the most positive about our chapter.
So, on one side, we have an exec board willing to do whatever it takes to make it work. On the other, we have sanctions up the ass that will hinder our operations (Try telling rushees that we can't throw any huge parties for a while).
I'm confident though that we can get some new blood into the house, especially now that the "lets drink and break everything in sight" guys are moving out of the house.
For me, it's hindsight 50/50. When I heard a bro say he'd be proud to know that he was in the house when it got kicked off, and that the ritual is lame, I decided I would stop puting my neck out for this hosue, and only do the duties given to me as secretary, alumni chair, webmaster, and greek week chair. If we lose our charter, I know it WON'T be because I didn't live up to the oath I took; it's the guys who never took the oath seriously.
You may be wondering what these type of guys are doing in my house. Well, they were recruited during our "renegade/let's not do anything the IFC frats do because that's lame" phase. Thank God we're out of that.
We can't kick any guys out, but we certainly can try to get some new guys who want to make a difference. I'm only afraid the party guys will influence them, they'll slack opff when they see how lazy a lot of the guys are, then we're back to square one.
We kid around that this year is our "Farewell Tour". I hope not, but only time will tell.
Thanks everyone for the support. I know you would like us all to be model greeks, but there's only so much one can do.
