confused, do not give up hope! I started my own local with the idea of affiliating with a large National!
I was turned down by many! Mainly because it was a State College!
It was a whole lot of work and I recruted a few guys that I knew!
The reason I started it was I had been Black Balled in an other House. While I knew many guys from all of the other houses, I just wanted to start something of my own! Hell that is the way I am!
I had a lot of help from Eric Conard the TKE Advisor at the time and polital guys on campus from the other Houses. Much coming from of the Guys of the Fraternity that I was booted from!
We won out over another small national that was try9ing to come on and the school would only take one! I won! Yea!
I did not ask anyone and just did it! Well we became recognaized by the other Greeks more so than the other group! I knew more people as You can tell I am the shy and researved type! Ha
Reason I started a new group , I wanted something different and so did many of the guys who came to us! @ half were booted out of other Fraternitys also so they fit in with me!
Interviewed 2 Fraternitys and looked at us. We chose LXA. Colonized at the end of the school year. Chartered 3 yeas later.
Started with LXA in 1966 and today are looking at build a new house!
You will work your butt off it you start a new group, but it is the most rewarding thing I ever did! I would not give it up for anything!
Last night, I was at a Brothers house stuffing envelopes to mail out! So, I have been doing this since 1965!
Ah to much to read, i am out of here!
