Yes. I think it's funny how I was just bragging to my friends in other frats how much self-goverance and autonomy that Beta gives chapters compared to many other frats...

I don't know if my chapter is in the region you speak of...but if it is, and this is just sprung on us my chapter is going to be extremely angry.

As it stands we have 50 guys right now, looking at a twenty man pledge class this spring...with most of the guys very distrustful and suspicious of ECs and the General Fraternity.

My chapter has built itself with little to no help from the G.F. since our re-org about eight years agos. Whenever someone from 'fantasy land' (aka the G.F.) comes in and tells us how to run our chapter, it really stirs people up. In the four years there has been a lot of grumbling about the way Beta is being ran (into the ground) and some less than quiet talk of breaking away. I think something like this could bring it to more than just quiet talk.

The bottom line is that we run the G.F., not the other way around. There comes a time when the chapters collectively have to say enough is enough. This could be one of those issues.

To stop it though, would take a combined effort of multiple chapters.
