The Exec, or nown VP Job of LXA was Placed and I applied for it. did not get if as You can see.!
As Far if I am reading You correctly, National Officers of LXA are Elected by Members as they are Nominated. There are 2 year terms only for one position.
But, the move up can still keep them envolved.
But, The National Officers are ones who have time and are willing to spend some of their own money to attend Meetings and Events.
Say for example, We have one of the High Grands coming to The Pitt in Ap. for a special occasion, He is not paid out of Fraternity Moneys (OURS). He is spending His time and Money to be there.
Remember, even as an Alum, it is not overly cheap still being a Member is You are so inclined. But, How do You compare that to waht You are doing?
Guess it just Love for Your Organization and The Many Young Members who are there and will become Alums in the future!
Hell, I would Love to Work For My International!

Thanks for the insight! Yes, that's interesting! Clarify please:the VP job you applied for is not one of the national officers, I take it ,but a part of the admin. staff at your IHQ? My emphasis is on national elective officers and the process by which it occurs,and the political dynamics surrounding this process. In my fraternity, our Exec. Dir. is not a member of our Supreme Council (executive board);it's considered a "non-political" position, as opposed to to our elected Grand Officers and DRs(regional directors).
Our tradition is that we have full-blown "campaigns" just as in traditional political elections. Candidates raise money which goes towards travel expenses to district meetings where they give campaign speeches or their representatives do so,and at national convention they have campaign workers, paraphernalia and usually a well-stocked suite to meet and greet, to "press the flesh" of delegates and others to sway some voting delegates before the elections.
