You are correct about Texas FIJI.........and they are one of the two top houses on our campus. Its not going to hurt them in any way.....as someone was mentioning above. They are one of the wealthiest chapters I have ever seen and have an insane amount of prestigious alumni support. I would argue that they are easily the best chapter of FIJI in The South.

Does anyone know what happens to that wealth if a chapter goes local? I would think that it would stay with the national, so no matter how much cash they have they'd still start from scratch.

So Cal Girl, no, that money stays with the Alumni Corp or Alumni Assoc or which ever org. had it. They don't have to give it to nationals, but they don't have to give to the local guys.
as to original topic: no comment

I just realized ColumbiaPike means Columbia, SC. Duh, carry on 
If you no longer believe in the goals and values of your national organization - you shouldn't be a part of it. Or you should work to change it.

That's what I thought at first too - hence the "duh" after I read some of his posts.

In FIJI's case.....no. They are pretty much already diasaffiliated. They are extremely wealthy. Nationals can't take away private donations and funding.

If a fraternity that has a house disaffiliates, what happens to the house?

Not sure, but Dook does not have fraternity houses. They live in sections rather which is nothing more than a dorm.
Also, don't quote me on this, but I thought Dook's other local fraternity was in danger of losing their charter, so they broke with Nationals instead. Kind of a "you can't fire me because I quit!" type statement.

The house remains in the possession of who owns it. Which could be any or the following. The chapter's housing corporation, the GLO's inter/national headquarters, the GLO's inter/national housing corporation, the university, or the landlord if leased.

Is that at Arkansas or LSU?
|
Arkansas, but both could do it. The LSU chapter I was with was damn good and respected by nationals to a high degree. We could have crapped on a floor at Conclave and they would've saved it as a way to make their chapter better.
