Some honesty, thank God, in SAE and Chi Psi magazines

Saw the new SAE magazine today, and I salute them for honestly listing problems that exist. Their "state of the Chapters" section lists "disciplinary status" for each chapter, and a bunch of them are "suspended", on "fraternity or univ. probation", under an "alumni commission", closed, or dormant.

SAE's letters section even contains a letter from an alumnus, asking that a great chapter now in rough times not be "recolonized", since it could never return to it's former greatness.

Chi Psi's new magazine devotes a full page to Gordie Bailey, the Colorado pledge who drank himself to death Sept. 16, although the page is nearly hidden in the back pages. Chi Psi should have been more specific about how the death occurred, saying the chapter violated risk management policies related to alcohol. Every Chi Psi chapter has received a visit from an alumnus leader since Sept. to conduct an educational program reviewing the CO incident.

Other interesting SAE news: their foundation donated $100,000 to the National WWII memorial; risk management fee revenues ($1.3 mil) equalled SAE's income from dues and initiation fees; risk management expenses were $1.1 mil.

Congratultions to these two GLOs for publicly presenting and discussing problems - even a death. I wish more GLOs sought improvement by finding problems, airing them out, and changing.
