An email I received

[Bilski]

I received this email as well. I believe it was sent to all chapter presidents or their chapter email addresses. I'm at least glad to see someone has the foresight to mass distribute proposed legislation well before GA. I haven't formed an opinion on this bill yet, but I like that it was distributed ahead of time. I hope the rest of the GA's legislation can be reviewed before showing up in July.

Without examining the proposed legislation carefully, I know that it would not have mattered for at least two of the schools on this list. When the Colorado State University chapter was closed, that University's message was very clear - the president of the University had decided that the Lambda Chi Alpha chapter was no longer welcome on that campus and was to be closed immediately. At the University of Colorado, after two very poor recruiting years, the undergraduates elected, on their own accord, to close the chapter and return the charter. In neither situation would the legislation have any meaningful impact.

Pardon my crash, but if their bone of contention is the amount of chapters closed in the last 10 years, the list needs to be those chapters only, not including ones that have closed as far back as 1990-91.

I am still not sure of what is going on, the list that was given has happened over I think it said 10 years.

I know for a fact that there were 3 Executive Directors including Bill Farkas at the moment, Tom Helmbock, and Kip Zurker being the previous two.

In going over the listing, I see some that I am familiar with some that have been suspended because of Risk Management and rightly so.

One that sticks out was Alfred in NY, but the school banned all Greeks on the campus.

I think, we must all look at this with an open eye to see what is true and what is not true. We must also look at who is promoting this and why.

I would like more information before speculation.

CSU still a thorn in my side...no evidence, no charges, but, since it made state and national TV news, I could see no other option but suspending the charter either...but you're right, for either CU or CSU, this resolution wouldn't have righted either situation.

I for one would not want to see LXA try at CU or CSU at the present time - both campuses are vehemently anti-greek, and will be for some time, unfortunately this is mainly the greeks fault themselves, but still....time will have to pass first.
