Dear Brothers:
Thank you for your insight and thought about to which it may
apply. I hope you reflected upon my last posting and truly understood
the intent was for us to discuss as we have been and not to start the
trivial war of words, where some may be insulted and others victorious in
getting unsubscribe commands.
Anyway, that is not why I post today. It seems many of you may
have been hearing how pitiful it is that Alpha has become a vacant memory
in what may have been once great. The truth is Alpha died not because of
lack of interest, but rather a lack of faculty and administrative (F
and A) support for any Fraternity, including those of service. Unfortunately,
even many Brothers, like myself, from many chapters sought to hold pledge
nights and projects around the campus at Lafayette; few students saw us any
different and since the F and A was unwilling to work with those
students, it died in their hands.
Perhaps, Alpha will rise again...as for now the Brothers here at
Beta (which made the organization National) have promoted themselves as
the oldest chapter in existence, even though they have only rechartered
within the last few years.
So be it.
Hayim
