What Makes You Stick With LXA

Some of them turn out to be very dedicated volunteers - I can say that from direct experience!

But, IHQ pretty much unofficially "blacklists" these kind of alumni for a time, until their dedication is reproven, which is sad. Most young alums that come from a shutdown chapter had nothing to do with the reasons the chapter was shut down (I for instance, was on Active Duty in the Navy, when circumstances arose that shut down my "home" chapter), they are true PPG bleeders for the most part, and they are out there, usually serving a nearby chapter.

When my chapter was shut down, there were six to seven alums that remained in the area, and we all dedicated much time, effort, and personal resources to a nearby chapter - especially during Ritual Week - it was sort of a "homecoming/reunion" event for many of us. And we wouldn't have had it any other way. Unfortunately, all but two of us have since moved away for career issues, but we still maintain close ties, and we did manage to (finally) recharter our home chapter, though I also consider myself a member of the other chapter I volunteered for as well - I got just as much out of the other chapter, more perhaps - than from my undergraduate days in LXA.

Well stated, now it is up to someone to make IHQ come to the realization. We are not just Cash Folks but Brothers! Older maybe wiser, but caring!

What makes me stick with Lambda Chi Alpha...I'm going to have to say ALL the females, partying...etc.....NOT! Hanging out, cracking jokes, talking about life, ritual, future of the brotherhood, the history, too much to list...so "etc..."

What makes me stick with LXA:

The fact that you can take our house away, but we still have the brotherhood. This last semester has been a trying one for all of us at Lambda Iota Zeta, some of the guys have turned their back on Lambda Chi Alpha, and others just focus on school, while the rest of the chapter is rolling with the punches and keep on truck in. A few of the guys have a house that has now been the unofficial house because of the events that have occurred at the beginning of the semester. The other night, the guys had a party at there house and it was the same good time. And everyone can’t wait till the end of the suspension. I never thought that our brotherhood would still be there but it is.
