I'm really not sure why they were dropped off on a Sunday. It seems like a LOT of miscommunication went on between the people that conducted this membership review & the chapter itself. As far as a chapter officer handling it, I am pretty sure they expelled most if not all of their officers in this membership review, and if they weren't expelled, they resigned.
This is also not the first time a member purge such as this has happened to LXA at SMU. In 2001, they purged a considerable amount of members, but it wasn't to this magnitude. I have heard of a couple of other instances in decades past, but they recovered from them all.
I think what will be the most critical is how many upperclassmen they can recruit in the fall. It will be interesting to see if they are successful with this after some of the bad publicity they have gotten on the matter. They cannot recruit freshmen until the Spring semester, so like I said, it will be interesting to see how many they will be able to recruit. It just is not fun to see another fraternity on our campus go through something like this. We had a chapter kicked last year, and one with a pretty serious punishment (in terms of what it was for) and seems to have affected their recruitment quite a bit. I hope LXA can prove our campus wrong and move forward from this.
