Negativity

[GammaZeta]

2nd chapter? Not sure who you are talking about.

Our 2nd chapter is up and running I believe in Boston.

I think our focus should be on our 1ST chapter; Gamma Zeta.

"I guess everyone who works at IHQ must be gods, because otherwise how do you expect them to deal with all of the updates (manuals, website, etc), centennial planning, bad publicity, the LCAP fiasco, which probably involved none of the current High Zeta, and still maintain normal operations like supervising the active chapters."

That's just the thing, I don't expect them to be gods or be perfect. I do expect them to do their due diligence.

The LCAP fiasco could have been totally avoided. I don't have to go into the laundry list of how it went wrong. That's what gets me worked up.

It grew, and grew, and grew, and grew, and grew into finally it exploded. Did anyone hear any problems about LCAP 3 or 4 years ago (besides from me)? Did anyone hear of any problems 1 year ago? Nope.

That's what worries me. For 10 years there wasn't ANYONE looking at the books and saying "Um, yeah, hey guys, we're losing our asses on this every month. Maybe we should think about what we are doing?"

As a fraternity, we NEVER hear about problems until it is TOO LATE. By the time something reaches the general fraternity, it has already exploded.

That's why we need to force our HQ to be more open, and the first step is opening the financial books.

Ah Matt, I may have angered a few, but only some of the swells!

GammaZeta as I mentioned before, IHQ has made inroads at UMass about returning in 2010 I beleive.

They are the list for that date and I hd been in contact with the Greek Adviser about the histoical background of the Zeta.

Now that there is a date set, I think it would behoove you and fellow alums to start laying the ground work for the future.

We all know how you feel about LCAP as many of us do. It was a fiasco but hopefully things will soon change for the better.

I like everyone else here do not want to lose chapter houses and maybe even alumni, Bothers, and future Brothers. But what is done is done and none of us can change it.

As many pointed out, while you do not like the new web site, it is better than what we had and a whole lot easier to navagate as that was always a major problem.

I am not sure what your major problem is with the new site? is it the graphics or what. You expound how you do not like it and never answer why, so please tell us!

Actually, we have more information on our site than any I have seen and I look at a lot!

Sure some Zetas have great sites but they do not have to put all of the information on thiers as IHQ does for all of us!

I just want to point out since most of you are proturbed by GZ, and perhaps others comments that you view as negative. If you particularly dont like what a certain poster or posters are saying, go to USER CP (control panel) and go to the ignore function list, and just place the user on "ignore".

That way you can customize your experience on here to the people you want to hear from, and not others. GZ should be free to rail on LCAP, the website, and nationals. And if you dont want to hear it, his silence is a click and a few keystrokes away.
