Lambda Chi Alpha Membership Review, Expulsions and Resignations -- Southern Methodist

Wow! What a shock and such a bummer. Back in my days at SMU, the Lambda Chi's were known as the "Milk and Cookie Boys" because of their clean cut image. It just goes to show how things can change over the years.

As a mom (who just got back from her son's Mom's Weekend), I can tell you that I would be POed beyond belief to have that kind of unexpected bombshell dropped during that event. (I say unexpected because maybe the boys had some idea that they were in deep doodoo, but the moms were probably completely in the dark).

I'm sure many of the moms travelled a far distance, paid for airfare, hotel and transportation, only to have an unbelievably upsetting and terrible weekend. Yeah, I'd be pissed.... not sure who at though, depending on what the real circumstances are. I'm curious as to that.

My question is: why drop these off on a SUNDAY? Even if it wasn't Mom's weekend, there's a chance that there would have been brothers home for the weekend and I don't care what you've done, you deserve the courtesy of having that handed to you, PERSONALLY, by an officer of the fraternity - not Fed Ex or however the hell the letters got there. (P.S., FedEx and other delivery services charge extra for Sunday deliveries, another reason not to do it then.) Maybe stargirl007 can fill us in on that.

Exactly! by all means, have it in writing, but have a national officer hand deliver the letters in private one on one meetings! And NOT ON MOTHER'S WEEKEND!
