THE ORACLE
MOVING FORWARD
(Continued from page 1)
OBSTACLES
Our present mortgage lender will not lend us additional money due
to occupancy issues since we were empty for two years and then half
full for the next few years. We are starting the search to find out if we
can source a viable lender.
Indiana University rules for us having a live-in facility are quite
stringent. We are required to have a live-in advisor to be recognized
on campus. After interviewing several graduate students this year, we
were turned down by all candidates due to a lack of a proper room for
them to reside in. The bulk of the graduate advisor students also want
a kitchen in their room, which we could not provide.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Our alumni involvement needs to improve. The mentoring of
undergraduates by our alumni is life changing for not only the student
and alumni, but also for the health of our house membership. The
strongest houses on campus have alumni in their houses nearly every
week! Thanks to several alumni, we are finding this to be improving
as we speak.
Our undergraduate students have been operating under a control board
through October 1 of this year. That board has now been dissolved,
and the international headquarters for Lambda Chi Alpha has now
tasked these undergraduates and a few alumni to devise a plan to
move forward. That email from the IHQ was forwarded to everyone
via our Pennington service. Please let me know if you did not receive
this email and we can forward another copy to anyone.
PROVIDE YOUR FEEDBACK
ON THE SITUATION
As I mentioned above, our house will stand empty for this coming
school year of 2022-2023. Our undergraduates were upset with this
decision, but we thought their safety should come before living in the
house. We have many options on how to proceed from here, but we
would prefer to listen to alumni and hear their thoughts. We have an
email address for your comments: iualphaomicron@gmail.com.
We hope you will give us your thoughts
on proceeding from here.
Expect another Oracle and email blast
scheduled for late spring 2023, as we
will continue to report back to alumni
any progress and ideas on how to
proceed.
In ZAX,
