Potential Reason NupeNet Has Orphan Status

A Brother recently sent me an e-mail and we lightly caught up on the latest in our lives since the days we were in the same local alumni chapter.

His e-mail included something about the NupeNet being a virtual chapter and it dawned on me about a potential reason the NupeNet has received less than lukewarm affection from the highest levels of the organization.

The NupeNet does not and will not as far as I can see have a Polemarch since the entire group for the most part governs itself.

Even if there was a front runner for such an office, it would be more of a moniker without any real authority and responsibility since the opportunity for leadership is the same for all Brothers regardless of age, years of membership, financial status, etc.

The NupeNet is the closest thing that the Fraternity has to fulfill the Kappa poem "Kappa of My Dreams" and now it is understandable why it gets left outside at the table where the majority of the decisions are being made.

If there was room for a "Mr. Kappa" of the NupeNet, I wonder if the coalition would be all over it;D)

We would probably have to pay more dues or be "assessed" to subsidize the NupeNet at that point;)
