Alpha Epsilon Sigma - A New Beginning

[Riah]

Oh, actually we sent letters to all 286 e-mails to the former alumni today.

I don't find any of my remarks disparaging towards my school but I am not sure what you were referring to.

If it was "Overgrown high school of a college" I feel that is more of a reflection of the student body and I think that it is a generally accepted sentiment. In many ways it is good and bad. We have close bonds and personal relationships with our instructors but we also have a bit more drama and politics then many other larger schools.

If it was the "blatant opposition" part that also is commonly accepted knowledge.

Sorry if they sounded negative but really there was no disrespect involved and seeing as I have had meetings with almost all levels of the administration I think the school and I are on the same page.

The guidance I was seeking was more logistical in nature, tips and things that have worked for other organizations but I've also learned that many societies tend to be extremely private and so my only guidance may come from the alumni who reply to my e-mails.

Thanks for the replies!

That's the remark I was referring to. It doesn't come across well on a public forum read mostly by people not from your school.

I understand Concordia's opposition to national charters, but for starting up a fraternity (or resurrecting one), appealing with your administration to allow a national charter is your best bet. National HQ's for Greek's are experts at setting up new locations and often have parent chapter's nearby to help with the difficult parts of starting a chapter (initial recruitment, ritual, etc.).

No.

If it's a very conservative Christian school, they often want nothing to do with national Greeks. They want to have complete control over the organizations at their institution, and will regard any mention of "others" as trying to usurp their authority. He's on the right track with the idea he has.

FYP to take out unnecessary apostrophes.
