See if you can find any of George Spasyk's "Reflections" archives on-line - anything from about any one of those would be perfect.

I still get chills thinking of the "On Thermometers and Thermostats" article he wrote. Still inspires me every time I recall it...

Can you give an idea of what it was?

I look back and think of the time that LX Zeta was Colonized and then Chartered. I had graduated and did not actually know a lot about LXA until I got on GC, purchased items off of ebay.

Since then I have gained a lot of knowledge about LXA. It is a smattering from other Brothers who are on GC such as docroc and jono who are very diverse on history of our Fraternity.

While I do not learn something new each day, I still learn.

If I remember correctly, the article inspired Lambda Chi's to act as a thermostat instead of acting like a thermometer. The difference between the two is that a thermometer states the current condition; a thermostat changes it. So, the point is...instead of just complaining about a bad situation...get off your butt and do something to change it. You can view his article here:

I'm glad this was brought up...I haven't read it in years. Go check it out and enjoy...

There is a destiny
that makes us brothers;
None goes his way alone.
All that we send into
the lives of others
Comes back into our own.

Brother Chris, thank you for digging this out and posting it!

I think in My next "AlumbdaGram" that I send out, I will copy it and send it to all of the Alumni I have listings for.

Brother George of course is a very special person to have known from my early days as a New Brother till today.

This appeared on the back of Northwestern's rush shirts a few years ago (source unknown):

Don't walk in front of me,
I will not follow.

Don't walk behind me,
I will not lead.

Walk beside me,
be my brother.
