The end of LCAP

[GammaZeta]

Some major flaws in your thinking:

"Tough choices have to be made, unfortunate mistakes have occurred in the past, but they are doing whats best for the fraternity as a whole,"

Unfortunate MISTAKES? Is it a MISTAKE when your property organization has no one with any experience in charge and is LOOSING THOUSANDS of dollars on a monthly basis? That's not a mistake. Something is seriously wrong with that.

They're doing what's best for the fraternity as a hole? Even better idea. Hire someone who is competent and not just a BUDDY from the fraternity to run the damn thing.

Don't give me this bullshit of "oh, we made a mistake in the past but now we're trying to fix it".

Seems like this happens every couple of years, doesn't it? DOESN'T IT?

Quit the patronage, quit hiring exclusively from within the fraternity, quit throwing our money down the drain. Those aren't mistakes, that's incompetence.

WE DON'T LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES, PERIOD.

That's how we are always ending up in this situation. It was the mid 90's, then the late 90's, then the early 00's, and now it's 08.

"HQ is doing the best it can given the circumstances"

Maybe if HQ actually did something YEARS ago, they wouldn't be in this "circumstance". Maybe if they didn't get themselves into this mess.

What I want to know is, WHO is accountable and WHAT we will do in the future to prevent this from happening again.

I'll tell you what:

QUARTERLY REPORTS OF OUR ENTIRE FINANCIAL STATUS MAILED TO EACH CHAPTER AND ALUMNI ORGANIZATION...

Every three or four years we take another financial hit.

Let's find out where the money is going. Let's find out where it is spent. It's time we hold HQ responsible.
