RosePike brings up an interesting point.

I have seen it in many Groups where money becomes a major point. Well, actually it should be as GLOs are a business and should be run like one or go out of business. It does take a tremendous amount to afford to have a IHQ staff and field represenatives to make chapter visits.

The cost of doing business is very expensive, but to the point of losing sight of the values of what The Fraternities ideals are is many times lost. That is the sad part.

In the past, one of our Executive Directors told me that many National Fraternities were in financial straits and some may have to merge in the future.

Of course the last I beleive was PSE with PSK in 1985.

With the R M situations, their hands can be tied and their feet put to the fire.

That is because of chapters who do not follow the rules set out not just by the IHQs and never forget the members who vote on them.
