Just wanted to give you all a quick update from MSU...
First and foremost, I wanted to thank you all for the enormous support we have received from so many of you over the past many months. Following unsuccessful communications and unwillingness from LCAP to accept the many willing and able buyers that the chapter had, numerous meetings before city council, the planning commission, and finally the city historic commission, our battle seems to have been lost as the final site plan was approved. It is extremely frustrating to have been faced with this particular challenge however, the men in our house never gave up on this fight and we are still continuing to examine further ways to appeal the commissions decision. We believe that the addition to the rear of our home is in violation of the City's historic code as the addition will be clearly visible from adjacent streets, a position that many of the members of City Council and the Mayor agreed with.
While this is quite an unfortunate situation, our chapter was able to secure a house next year at a property owned by another national fraternity. This will hopefully serve as a home for Gamma Omicron for the time being as we look into a permanent location.
Again Brothers, the chapter has appreciated all of the support.
Sincerely,
Aaron
