Materials available for diversity?

[GammaZeta]

Nothing is dead because nothing has been answered.

I asked what materials were available to chapters to help deal with certain situations, or if there was anything at all.

If an active brother dies, what happens? If an active brother comes out of the closet, what is available? If an active brother commits a crime, what programs are available to aid him?

I don't see what is objectionable about my questions.

Sure, we can discuss what brand of toilet paper Mason liked to wipe his rear-end with in 1937, but a question about HQ is off limits?

From the Constitution and Statutory Code:

Resolution Approved by the 32nd General Assembly—Grand Bahama Island, 1970 as Amended at the 49th General Assembly—Denver, CO, 2002
A Mandatory Resolution Regarding Discrimination

Be It Resolved that membership selection on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or disability has no place within Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity. The Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, therefore, condemns all discrimination and will actively seek to prevent it in all of its Chapters.

Resolution Approved by the 44th General Assembly—Orlando, FL, 1992
A Mandatory Resolution to Adopt Basic Membership Expectations (EXTRACT)

2. I will respect and abide by all Fraternity Laws, regulations, and policies.

3. I will respect the dignity of all persons; therefore, I will not physically, mentally, psychologically, or sexually abuse or haze any human being.


These are the rules of our fraternity and we are all sworn to uphold them.

Also, here's a link to the Lambda Chi Alpha materials that are avialable online: http://www.fraternitymanuals.com/index.php?title=Lambda_Chi_Alpha

If you review that information and still haven't found what you're looking for, try contacting John Holloway, Director of Chapter Services. His email is jholloway@lambdachi.org

The Advisors training courses offered at the summer meetings have included materials and discussions on how to handle the situation when a member announces his sexual preference. Additionally, the advisors involved in teaching that training also provide advice and support on how to deal with our very New Testament based ritual in a chapter with members of other faiths.

THANK YOU LAMBDAINDENVER!!!

That is exactly what I was looking for.

Does anyone know if there is a link available online for the materials, I'd like to view them.

Also, I am VERY interested in the New Testament section that you mentioned.

We never had to deal with it in my chapter. Is it possible you could send me a PM LinDen with more info?

And Honkey, it IS the fraternities job to do ALL of that.

Unfortunately the materials for Advisors College are not available on line. Those change every year and are available to the participants in the Advisors College that year. Additionally, the discussion about the relationship of the New Testament concepts in the ritual to other faiths is something that a number of senior advisors have each developed over time to use as part of ZAX sessions.

GammaZeta, I suggest that you take this to IHQ and email them.

Your postings are still getting very outdated!
