Our SDSU chapter, Zeta Pi Zeta....

[LXA grits]

I dissagree with LXAAlum...

While the fate of the chapter might result in its closure...I don't think it would be closed on the basis of "they made headlines." I trust the judgment of our brothers in the "deciding positions" better than to make a call about our bond based off of media attention. Again, I will say what I posted earlier about what I'm sure will ring true:

"If the decision comes down to our Office of Administration or a Status of Chapters Committee during this summer’s General Assembly…then I’m sure our brothers will do what’s in the best interest of the experience shared by the members of this fraternity."


Again, that might mean the chapter gets shut down, or it might bean one member goes on social probation...I don't know the particulars. But, the goal still remains to ensure the success of the Lambda Chi Alpha organization and the ideals we uphold. I have NO DOUBT that HQ, the GHZ, or whatever entity will move forward with that in mind. No doubt at all.

Of course, the negative light that is cast upon our chapter there, and upon our international organization, might open the doors to more consideration about how we are percieved. If we are known on that campus as 50 drug-dealers operating out of a meth-lab (even if it's not 100% true)....then, that's going to affect recruitment, philanthropy, social stigma, and the relationship with the university. Then, the decision to close the chapter and wait for a more inviting environment to operate our Zeta there, might be more appropriate. Again, we aren't in the position of "deciding this case", so we can't say. If you do want to have that official voice, go to General Assembly and try to gain the alumni speaking opportunities. Active members, maybe you'll play a part in the decision...so I''d encourage you to brush up on your Constitution knowledge. Myself...I'm saving up $$$ for the Centennial!
