Emory's Phoenix Plan

[hoosier]

My AEPi Emory friend has gotten a letter from his chapter (beginning, of course, with the usual "It has been many years since you have heard from us" - this even has "It" misspelled).

The AEPi Emory chapter died in 1994, and the eyesore chapter house, with asbestos and lead paint problems, was demolished, with Emory forgiving a $165,000 mortgage.

The revived (in 1999) chapter had the largest campus pledge class in Jan. 2005.

Emory is willing to build the chapter a $2.7 - $3 mil house (19 2-man rooms, kitchen serving 100, elevator, wired) on Greek Row, under the Phoenix Plan: Emory would own the house and lot, collect the residents' rent, inspect the house monthly, and do all repairs; alumni and ugs have to raise $300,000 (10%) for furniture. Emory can rent out the house summers for conference visitors, and the income is used for decorating and repairs.

"AEPi is the only National Fraternity with a Jewish identity," it says, and the new house would include a Kosher Pantry.

Sounds like a pretty decent plan, and hope the ugs and alums can raise the $300,000.

Send your check to Box 20037, Atlanta 30325.

It's an impressive chapter.

Emory seems very encouraging of Greek life. Now if we could get that darned Senate bill passedin the next couple months by some miracle.

My personal Phonenix Plan is to carry around blast charges, grain alcohol, rope, and a net everywhere I go in case one of the mythical beasts suprises me. I can then stun it with the blast charge, lasso it to the ground, and secure it with a net, then drink the grain alcohol and drag the beast to a zoo where I can sell it for more blast charges, grain alcohol, rope, and nets.

I think its wise that Emory has adopted a backup plan to handle mythical beasts. I think their next step should be handling unicorns.
