Subject: XN'S NEED TO READ!!!

Alright... this is the VERY first time I've ever posted in a damn Myspace group thingy board. But, it's like this. This is what I sent Odie so read this novel and understand where I'm coming from because I've typed so much with just the last couple weeks of school starting I ain't doing it again.

Here:

Odie... please get ahold of me. I've tried calling a few times, and even left a message or two. I've personally had alot of trouble right now, but Greek Council is where most of my attention is at when I'm not trying to pull my life out of the shitter thanks to money problems and family. Other than that, I've personally been putting out of pocket funds in the frat when I can, and right now it's just 100 bucks. But that will get our dues, and HC dues paid, as well as any other fees for this semester, and maybe even help us with shirts for this class of pledges. Now, other than that... I want to communicate as much as possible, I've even reduced my normal class hours from 18 or more down to 15 or less. right now I think I'm at 14 so that I can best be available more often. Also, I scraped what little money I earned and then got back on loans to buy a car, and I'm getting it running well so that I can actually get out and talk to you guys and organize stuff. While Pimp is the prez, he's basically the face and the signature and the backup to me. I'm doing alot of the work, and with him as my roommate, he's helping on ALOT of stuff that otherwise I'd just pass out from stress. Anyways, our funds are low, but I'm keeping us above water right now, but I know that we can't throw a banquet this semester with our few members, little money, and almost no documents or knowledge. Clemens has or lost alot of the stuff I got from you, but I'm getting it back and want to start this new class out right. We got at least one member for sure and he's alot like me, so that's good. Others I think we can get at least 3 this semester in for sure. Now... next semester would be the time to throw the banquet, and if you would head it again, I'd love that because you know what you're doing and if you'd have me shadow and help when I can, I'd learn alot to take over next time. Anyways.... get at me, my cell is 304-312-9667, my home number is 304-686-2743, my email is Dragonmanning78@aol.com, my AIM is FFSephiroth86, and my facebook is awesome, and I think we should try and utilize it. Anyways, get at me when you can... I'm fucking dying here with all that I'm trying to handle. Btw... we're going to VA Beach this weekend just because I wanted to and Pimp and a friend or two tagged along, I needed out for a weekend because I've went through alot in the last two weeks, thanks to a now ex g/f, my dad's health, lack of money because of where I've been putting it, and sickness, as well as school and having to try and run my HC candidacy with no support at all thus far from my brothers. But I'm goign to contact Vincenzo while we're there, and Salty is in Richmond, so we're going to talk and party as usual and get some things done, at least I will. Anyways, there's what i got. Get at me ASAP, and I swear dude I'm doing all I can, I've come a long way since I pledged, I just need to know more! Hidy Tidy!

Other than that... alumni that actually look in here, my info is all in that cluster fuck of bad grammar and lettering to form a somewhat decent paragraph of plea and need information. Now, what I need from anyone and everyone else that is XN is some input like Krusty said. I'll be more than happy to take any initiative, as that's what I'm all about. But the problem there is, I'm all passion and no protocol unless I have a coach, always have been like that in sports, school, life. Without someone pointing, or at least someone giving some much needed advice and support, I will just fall on my face. While I pulled of Ms. West Liberty, and would like to take all credit, I had alot of help from my GOOD ex DZP's, Harvey showed up and helped alot, Nick who is the walking XN encyclopedia, and my fellow current brothers who actually came together and did something for once. It was truly a team effort, I just led an idea through alot of help and pointing. Now, with that pointing and coaching, I can do something great.... WE can do something great. But we won't be able to do much other than maybe some man power in setting stuff up, talking to a few ppl to get some dates, maybe geting A LITTLE big of money, and by little bit, I mean like MAYBE a couple to a few hundred dollars. Also, we can send out letters, emails, phone calls. We're bitch workers right now because that's all the stability we have right now, and while you guys are awesome brothers and alumni to want to send us on a vacation with the money left over, I would actually, as VP of XN, as CJ Manning, as a fucking logical and future oriented human, would like to take that money and reinvest in XN so we can get some things for future XN's so they can eventually be more self sustainable. From what I hear, we ask alot of money from the alumni, most of it in beer funds and hap-hazard schemes. I would much rather buy a bigass tent or sun thingy so that HC can be run every year with one without having to rent one. I'd also like to have a nice dependable grill so we can do HC with one every year, a stereo to throw partys and recruitment functions with, a little bank money for new shirts, we haven't had any apparel in what looks like almost a year or two now, and I've only been around for about a semester and a half. I mean, that's just my personal opinion. You wanted initiative, you got it with me and Pimp leading the way. My big and I got this, and the other members, and Krusty included out of school or not will back us up. But we REALLY can't do much, and I've been telling them less partying, more saving so we can stop asking you guys for so much, and start being more self sustainable and then we can depend on ourselves, and then only ask for help when we really need it, instead of every event we fucking throw. Now... I've got so much on my shoulders personally, I'm even becoming a Liazon ( think that's how it's spelled) to student government and prez of the school here from Greek Life, kinda like an ambassador to communicate. There's alot of stuff that's in the works for us Greeks as a whole, and hell, we even have alot of support from KDK, and I've expressed how the Beta Theta's need to get off their asses and do somethign too or they'll end up like us, they helped us out ALOT last year in Greek Week and sealed our Third place (close second) finish with only five/four guys. Also, the DZP's will even help a bit with man power, because one of them (the VP) is my best childhood friend Casey Hughes... great guy, and has my back. So like I said, we're working on alot, and this campus wants XN to stay around because they are offering their hands in help. What I want the alumni to do is do the banquet, we'll help and see what we can do on the side WHILE we're trying to up the numbers, because recruiting is MOST important, without numbers we'll die out banquet or not. Then comes money, without money, we can't keep numbers because events will die out. Then comes partying, because without partying, we'll fucking starve and not have fun. Anyways, those are my thoughts at 3:30 AM, and dammit... while they aren't well organized. I hope that gets it through. Also, copy and paste this and show it to other members as well... some don't accept my friend request because they don't know me. But they need to see this, so send them a message because I know most of them don't check this shit.

P.S. - if there was ANYTHING that Krusty and Pimp taught me best during pledging, it was that a XN will always survive in a no win situation... we're surviving dammit. So instead of throwing us a fish, teach us to catch them, so we can live forever! Oh, and Hidy Tidy fuckers, love the whole lot of you faggots!
