The one that failed was an attempt to move (i believe it was) Epsilon Eta, State University of West Georgia into Section 69. Reason for that proposal was to help the chapters in section 69 in going co-ed, creating kind of a 'triangle' of chapters. We, again, ran into the 'section boundaries are walls' attitude with the chapter taking that view that if they were in another section, that they would somehow be 'barred' from interacting with the chapters in the Atlanta area, plus that they needed help with membership issues. Despite repeated statements that the boundaries are not walls and that other chapters will help them (even from a delegate of Kappa Delta in Florida!), that move failed.
The issue 'boundaries are walls' and 'we don't want to travel far for Section Conference' was a repeated issue from the students. We had to repeated say the boundaries are not wall, and ask why 4-5 hour travel is a major burden. In Florida, some chapters travel 6-8 hours for conference! And some LIKE to get as many people to conference as possible, so travel time is NOT an issue.
