I propose this question to all of you, especially those that are in opposition of open expansion now. If a group of young men, tuition paying students of the university can:

Form a dues paying, nationally recognized interest group/colony of 1/3 the membership of the largest fraternity on campus. Also, have that group of men meet the checklist per requested by their national headquarters (GPA, community service hours per man, fundraising dollars per man, campus involvement, by-laws, code of conduct, etc...).

Should they not be voted upon favorably for recognition to IFC? Surely they would bring about beneficial competition... I assure you this is no easy task. Whomever group completes this task is more than capable of adding strength to the IFC and to Greek Life.

I know my own current colony and future Rho Zeta Chapter of Kappa Sigma will, when we do get recognized at FGCU, at least double in size in quality men and perfect our operations - thus increasing the efforts across the board for all chapters on campus. And trust me, the community will reap the benefits of such policy change.
This group of men don't want to follow the rules BEFORE being recognized, but they'll follow the rules if they get recognition?

Nope.

ETA: I think LaneSig said this -- if you're not part of NIC, why are you trying to use NIC's open expansion policy to support your arguments?

Like I stated beforehand, policies and rules constantly change. It is only a matter of time and an agent to bring about the change. If humanity blindly and without question followed policies and rules set forth we would not be as advanced as we are today. Same concept applies here I believe...

"He who rejects change is the engineer of decay, for evolution not only is advantageous for its subjects but is essential for their survival."

So while those in opposition of change hold tight to the current policies on expansion, we will push for change for the benefit of all. In this case, the positive far outweighs the negative... some just choose not to open their eyes and see it though.

On the other hand, if we didn't follow any rules, it'd lead to anarchy. Even if the group successfully expands to the campus, there will be more rules that its members will have to adhere to. Would you encourage them to break those rules, too?

But thanks for the quote
