Finding Surprises!!!

[dever860]

Recently our Alumni discovered our original charter from 1923, and our recolonization charter from 1984(?), I think thats right, some old pictures, boxes of files, and some other good stuff in some guys basement. They have fallen under my care while I am active. I am very excited they are back in our possession.

Im having my mother dig through my dad's old stuff in our attic to look for some of his old swag. He gave me his active pin but of course thats not good enough for me. She said she had some old LCA stuff in a box somewhere. He won't notice.

I am still looking for my PED, with my bid card in it. I have the sinking feeling I let someone borrow it and its lost forever. Then again its probably under my bed or hiding in some corner of my room.

A while back our former Hi Pi had a friend who owned a picture frame shop, and remember he was a Lambda Chi, she said she had something he should come in and see. Turns out it was our original charter from 1946, and some one brought it in to get framed and never picked it up. But we don't even know where our other charter is from our recharter in the 80's. It just disappeared.

I know the one from the 80s was around when I was first active. Scott Johnson and Bill McGlashan lived in the house and it was there. That was 12 years ago though. I'm not sure where it would be now. Bill is still in El Paso, but Scott has been in Baltimore for years so I'm sure he wouldn't know.

It's probably proudly displayed in some other fraternity's house. Bastards.

I would like to thank Nu-Zeta for defacing our original charter in 1985(?). Poor thing...

Ah, the Old Stuff!

Where did I put it, did I lose it?

Finding mine is a treasure to me as it is for each of us I am sure.

When one finds it and just sits and looks at it, what memories does it bring back and what of the Brothers that were there when you were and were so close to you in Your Pledge or NA Class.

History is the life of each of us, ergo, finding the buriel place of Warren Cole who was only one person and while important is still one person. The actual Founddrs of each Chapter is also important and should be remembered.

What is remebered each time that we see Our Ritual that goes back so far (Less than 100) years is still important. My Brothers whether it be My Zeta, LX, it is still important for all of the Brothers I have been able to had the pleasure to meet and know.

Save and keep. It is your heratige, you may have Family as in a Son who wants to know, Oh and a Daughter! She too can be a member of a GLO!

I will never lose My LXA items again!

My entire associate class consisted of just two guys -- myself and Christopher Leialoha Mielke. We were 5, but one went into the military after his associate semester and never came back around for initiation. Another was actually named Alex Rodriguez (no, not that one) and wound up being in the next class.

I'll tell you this though, it wound up making Mielke and I into good friends as well as fraternity brothers. Now we're both married with kids of our own, and he lives in Colorado/Japan/Alaska/Iraq or wherever the army has him this week, but he's still one of the guys who comes to mind when I think back to the active days.

I have some hilarious pictures of us from the trip to Puerto Penasco, Mexico and of us acting like morons at a few parties. I'm glad I never throw anything away.
