Don't worry Life, I don't kill the messenger. But I do think it's a complete BS rule. I've gone to professional retreats, school orientations and job orientations that do worse ice breakers than that. What's HQ gonna do, shut down or sanction a chapter because the associates asked questions and tried to learn a little bit about the brothers?
It's no wonder I hear all sorts of jokes about LXA associates being pu$$ie$ and getting it easy. There was even a comedian with an hour special on Comedy Central a few years back that did a 2 minute joke about LXA associates/pledges.
What's HQ afraid of, being charged with hazing because pledges asked brothers questions?
Here's a crazy idea. Instead of nitpicking and acting like they have a "holier than though" attitude, how about HQ try solving some of their bigger problems, like recruitment, expansion, raising more $$$, and getting basic administration duties completed for the chapters?
