USC (SC) Lambda Chi Alpha HQ Ousts Most of Chapter Members

[HONKY660]

Don't be surprised if you see another article about membership reviews coming out of Auburn U, our Omega chapter. It was tweeted a while back by John Holloway, our national director of chapter services that reviews and alumni control boards were coming for USC, LSU, and Auburn.

These underground "real XYZ" groups don't last very long. Without a chapter house to recruit new members the die out as the current members graduate.

Fixed your post.

Even at some campi like that, it depends what the student body wants, who the expelled members are and how students look at the "transgressions" committed. Beating someone unconscious? They'll be gone in a year. Serving hard liquor when only beer is permitted? Look for them to outlive the "official" chapter.

Lots of luck trying to recruit new members to an unrecognized and unhoused local at an SEC school after being kicked out of your local chapter of a national fraternity no matter how cool everyone thinks you are.

Not remotely true. There is a very infamous underground chapter at a major California school that not only continues to recruit, but they steal rushees from even the most competitive chapters.

Unfortunately I misread the thread title as
"USC (SC) Lambda Chi Alpha HQ Outs Most of Chapter Members" and was surprised that a National HQ would care these days...

Close to 60 members of the LSU Lambda Chi Alpha chapter are accused of drug abuse or other violations of fraternity rules after the national organization conducted a “membership review” of the chapter through Sunday.

Have any GCers seen an official Lambda Chi HQ press release / statement that they'd be willing and able to share?
