Brother Dickson:
Thank you for your recent post.
"The name could have been better". You ARE the master of understatement. The name flat-out sucks. It's straight out of junior high school.
Why did the Fraternity not simply call the program "Jackson's Quest", since the program is in pursuit of Jackson's dream or challenge or mandate to the Fraternity to not rest contentedly until we are the pride of every college in the country ... the latter part of which has had to be amended, de facto, to "on the continent" since Kappa Sigma, to its credit, has been an international fraternity since the 1920's.
Jackson's dream has two components: expanding to every college campus, and being the best fraternity at each of those campuses. The name "Jackson's Quest"would thus invoke the two-fold challenge or, to apply the program's name, the QUEST, , not only (1) to establish an active chapter at every college and university on the continent that has a Greek system, and to even pioneer the Greek system at others [i.e., expansion], but also (2) to become the BEST chapter on each of those campuses [i.e., continuity and quality. So it seems to me that "Jackson's Quest" would be a far more appropriate name for the program than the present goofy "Champion Quest".
There are probably several other names that are equally as good. "Founders' Quest" might be another. Almost anything would be better than "Champion Quest". That name sounds like the name of a game show targeted at junior high schoolers.
