GLT 009: Recolonizing a fraternity with Chi Psi at Ole Miss
In May of 2007, things came to a head for Chi Psi at Ole Miss.
“It wasn’t one thing, or one event… it was a long, gradual decline in being a fraternity.”
The alumni, in partnership with the university and the fraternity’s central office, decided it was time to close.
This episode covers a decade of planning, doing and learning, as the group worked to rebuild the fraternity from the ground up, literally.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
* the key components and critical decisions of a recolonization.
* building an epic names list and hosting a great coffee meeting.
* the highs and lows of this beautiful thing we call fraternity.
Listen here. ⬇️
Selected links from episode 9 with Chi Psi
Read more about Moneyball and the art of fraternity maintenance.
Here’s the video I referenced in the end of the episode. As Doug would say, “Welcome to God’s country!”
