I guess we should get ready for the bad press that is typically forthcoming after drug-related issues arise among our brotherhood.  Our thoughts are with our brothers at San Diego State, and the old cliche still works - “Condemn the sin, not the sinner”.  They may need us now more than ever.

And, as a 50YO chop alum with twin sons entering the college ranks this Fall, 2008, it will probably now be a tougher sale to interest them in the fraternity.  I’ll just have to tell them that everyone makes mistakes (if, in fact, the alleged impications are substantiated), and now is especially the time for “A Few Good Men” to keep Lambda Chi Alpha honorable.

So the men of chapter zeta-gamma zeta put together a pretty awesome greek sing this year. The topic was Michael Jackson and here’s a link to their winning performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaccTak3GCo

Bro’s,

One of my classes was cancelled today so I decided to try and get my brothers on onboard with studying abroad!

I’m an alumnus of my chapter, Lambda-Upsilon Zeta at Northern Michigan University (”NMU”).  I made the dire mistake of not traveling abroad while an undergraduate between 2002 and 2006.  There’s many reasons why I didn’t, but the main reason was that I wasn’t interested in the opportunity (and I was too lazy to fill out all the paperwork).  The opportunities I’m talking about were to study art, architecture, or language abroad, which were generally the trips available to students of my major.  Big mistake!  Fact is, it’s not the “studying” that matters so much as the living abroad.  Plus, let’s be honest, knowing a little about art, architecture, and especially language immersion will be, not might be, useful someday!

I am about to finish up a business M.A. degree from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Carlson School of Management.  (If anyone has questions about U. of Minnesota, just ask me.)  I am studying abroad right now in Barcelona, Spain and I’m fortunate enough to be going to a business school called E.S.A.D.E. in Barcelona, Spain.  (Questions about E.S.A.D.E.?  Ask.)

Dear Brothers,

I am looking for brothers that live in the Phoenix, AZ metro area and Alumni brothers of the Zeta Psi Chapter at Arizona State University. I would like to form an exploratory committee to help recolonize at ASU.  You can reach out to me at dlapplegate2@cox.net.

This last weekend ( 3-1-08), I had the pleasure of attending Founders Day of LC Z at Pittsburg State Un.

 There were many Alumni there and had the pleasure of meeting not only the new Brothers, but the new Associate members.

 It was a hoot to say the least since I have been doing this for 42 years.  It ment a lot as # 10 was there, one of the original members of the local.  But, what was impressive were the members that showed up! Read the rest of this story »
