At Least We're Not at the top...

[Ottor 246]

<<NOTE: I think I read on GC, some time ago, that Indy was chosen as our HQ city because it was easily accessible by train to the greatest number of our chapters. With the communications tools we have at our disposal today, it shouln't matter if IHQ were on the moon. Answers that used to take weeks to get can now be back to us in minutes.>>

I agree with John G. that there are indications that there could be a problem here. So where are the UGA alumni, and why aren't they checking on it?

I have a general wariness of centralized government, and lean more toward the side of volunteer involvement and personal responsibility. Saying, "Why doesn't IHQ do something?" while you watch a chapter go down the tubes is (to me, anyway) the same as watching some street thug beat up an old lady and asking, "Where are the police?" You're already there...do something!

Regardless of how we structure our headquarters, common sense tells me it will never have the resources to monitor our chapters that closely. And they shouldn't. IHQ is not your mom. Recognize your problems, make a plan and FIX THEM.

Remember - the oath you took when you joined Lambda Chi does not expire when you get your degree. If you've got a brother with a problem, don't ask why somebody doesn't do something...step up and help him.

The sermon has ended. Go in peace.
