Greeks worth saving....
I pledged TKE 50 years ago; it has been a joy in my life. Without
a doubt I learned more from the Fraternity experience than I did
from my four earned degrees (and a 3.91 gpa in grad school)
BUT...somehow...we must get the attention of the young folks,
that binge boozing, uncontrolled defiance, is not cool. We are not
prudes...I drank a lot in college, though sometimes poured cheap
booze in expensive bottles to make my date think I was buying a
high-priced brand! We simply did not have the discretionary $$
to spend that today's bunch has...albeit we hear of the dire poverty of today's student.
Just came back from two board meetings, the men seem to grasp
what we are saying. There are over 40 fraternity chapters in CO
which are dormant, some will return, many will not. Once great
Beta, Delt, Phi, Kappa Sig, Sig, gone from CU, and some never to
return. Folks, we all lose when goodies crumble and universities
snap up our houses to increase their power and presence.
Alums, when did you last try to help your chapter? Or do you just
grumble from afar? We need all of you. I love my Fraternity and
I hope you do yours...even after fifty years. Get busy...now
