The Spring 2007 Update

Waaaiiiiiiiittttttt a second.

Boz, let me get this straight. Are saying that if someone flunks out, is expelled or is not active, they lose their Zeta #?

Lenoxxx is right on target with his post.

I was under the impression that once you were initiated, it was a lifetime thing? I can see if you are officially thrown out of the fraternity, maybe. But even then.

Code VI-22. Numbering of Initiates. Each initiate shall be assigned a Zeta number upon completion of initiation. The series of Zeta numbers for each Chapter/Colony shall start with one and continue upward regularly without interruption. There shall be no changing of Zeta numbers after they have been reported to the Office of Administration as a part of the initiate's biographical record, and the Zeta numbers shall remain on the roll of the Chapter/Colony in cases of death, resignation, and expulsion, and never be reassigned.

Absolutely hilarious in my opinion

next thing you know, Captain America will be resurrected and they wont count the issues he got killed and was dead in (sigh)

The comic book collector in me is appaled at this lack of respect for an orderly numbering system!

What do you mean Leno, remember the "death" of Superman? Comics do it all the time.

Thank you Jono for the citation to LXA law.

So, what can we conclude from all of this???

Thank you Brother Jono!

A perfect, reasonable, logical, and clear explanation. I am ZU-384. Death will not change that fact.

Nor will failure of any Brother to pay their dues, rent, or other obligation of membership change that fact. They just are not members in good standing any longer.

Oath Takers...Oath Breakers. No Longer Brothers. But They Keep Their Dishonored Zeta Number. Sort of a Scarlet Letter.

Wow! So simple....

Yours in ZAX,

So Simple and so true!

We used to have # 3. He was expulled and while listed is not considered a Brother.

I wish I could find Him and get him reinstated as he really was a good Brother, he just screwed up as we all do!

Long story and PM me if interested!

Now, I still wonder why there is not a constant update?

[GammaZeta]

So even if a brother is officially kicked out of LXA, by however it is done, he retains his zeta #?

Brothers,

Just to be sure I checked my copy of the 1930 Directory. Sure enough, Warren A. Cole was listed as AZ#1. Along with: * Resigned!

Others were noted as dead, missing, and expelled....

Apparently the death of captain america is a bit different.

Due to a variety of politically correct reasons (cap getting his power from drugs in the 40's akin to steroids) he was shot by terrorists and then his brainwashed girlfriend on the courthouse steps of the Fed courthosue in NYC, as a superhero awaiting trial for treason against the US

It even made TIME magazine as an article last month.

The editorial staff at Marvel cited Superman's death GZ and said this would be different, and while others may don the Captain America costume , Steve Rogers is apparently permanently finito.

Thus joining Uncle Ben (spidey's uncle) as the only permanently dead Marvel characters.

rumor is that frank castle (punisher) is going to don the shield and hood!

Thanks

Mike you and Jono are both correct!

Once a New Associate is Initiated, he is given a number. That number stays the same and then builds from there as each new person is initiated.
If a person is expulled, then that name is removed from the rolls, but not the number. The number continues as each new member is accepted.

Ergo, I then still wonder why the update is not updated as LX Z has not had any new members since last year which is 2006.

As far as comic books I see no reason for them on this thread?

Thank You!
