Jeremy-
Please keep in mind that undergraduates, while they do not always
submit as much legislation as Alumni, DO have the final say about what
goes to the floor. The only items that make it to the floor were
"reported out" by reference committees composed of active brothers,
not alumni.
I think that the reasons Alumni often submit more legislation than
actives have been well discussed on this list already, so I won't go
into those.
But I would like to say that the issues that took so long to discuss
on the floor in Minneapolis (like the toast song and the discussion of
whether or not pledges are brothers) were real and serious issues that
active chapters are dealing with now, and not obscure alumni
suggestions.
