The end of LCAP

[EM1843]

Don't just whine about it. Start making a plan for how to raise funding to aquire land and build a house. In the mean time look at renting out a large house in town or an entire building in an apartment complex. If you have 10 or 20 brothers who want to make that kind of commitment you can have a temporary housing solution.

So, just how will this affect those Zetas who were covered by LCAP?

How many could and will lose their houses?

EM1843, it may be a little harder than you profess.

Yes, it will be interesting to see if anything is said on the next C and C!

Those houses are on the market and the local alumni get the first chance to buy them. If alumni don't step up to the plate then these chapters could find themselves without a building.

LCAP has properties at Ball State, Butler, Colorado, Michigan State, Rhode Island, Oklahoma State, North Texas, South Carolina and others. This could be absolutely devastating!! LCAP has given alumni groups no time to prepare to buy chapter houses back.

Remember, many of the chapter houses were simply transferred to LCAP in good faith for stewardship at little to no cost. We shall see if the Grand High Zeta puts profits before the brotherhood.

Fraternity houses are illegal in St. Louis City now.

Some have been grandfathered in (wash u, slu) but they
are on the campus and/or owned by the school.

So regardless of how bad we want it - it's out of our hands
unless we want to drive more than 20-30 minutes both ways
to get to our house way out in st louis county...

Our campus operates a Greek Village, it sounds fun/cool until you realize your paying more to live there then someone in offcampus apartments and you have to share a room. Not to mention campus can throw "GDI's" in your house without your approval, and you have to move out during the summer. You cannot drink in or around the house or your rooms. Campus has cameras at the entrance's to all the doors going in an out of the house. No parties. No parking. No privacy and campus police "checking" on whats going on...

It isn't appealing, and as we are still in the colony phase at WCU we have decided against moving into the village or looking into a house until we get our charter. We had a beautiful house but during our removal from WCU it was lost. The problem is finding a place to lease in such a rural town like Cullowhee. Not having a house makes it hard to recruit and hold functions. Thankfully some brothers live close to campus and we can do things there, but it is kinda cramped.
