Jerry may not be here, but I am :-) As a Petitioning Group member of the
Alpha Gamma Chi Chapter at Frostburg State University, I can assure you that
we petitioners existed before 1994.
We began petitioning in early 1992, and by the time I joined in September
1992, we had our pins and the whole bit (and we were responsible for a major
change in the national offices materials distribution policy, but that's
another story *laugh*).
I dunno what the national bylaws said at the time, but I had voice on the
floor of the 1992 Boston convention (after a debate, of course -- this is
APO). The longer I'm an alumnus, though, the less I care what bylaws say what.
That's my $0.02 . . . In L,F,S,
Jonathan
