Brothers,
I regret to inform you that due to an unfortunate loop-hole in our Constitution, it appears that one of our long-standing fun traditions has caused considerable havoc.
Each year, as many of you know, the Legislative Council votes to re-name the Board of Trustees. All in good fun, of course, and it has no lasting consequences.
Wrong.
It seems that Article XVII, Section 4.2 stipulates that no vote of the Legislative Council may have any time restriction appended to it. This is to prevent motions being passed at Convention purposefully set to expire between LC sessions when no one can do anything about it. Therefor, the motion the LC passed at this latest Convention is binding.
Our Board of Trustees is, officially, now named "Delightfully Orthodox, Impressively Nuanced, Tremendously Helpful Entity: Board of Trustees" or DOIN THE BOT.
With the end of the semester soon upon us, and the collegiate Brothers scattering across the country for the summer break, it seems unlikely that we can convene the LC until the fall semester to reverse this decision. I have asked C-NITC Britton to correct all of our online documentation, and NS Lyon to begin amending all national documents in which DOIN THE BOT is referenced.
I have not yet heard back from C-DOIN THE BOT Zander on whether there will be a mid-year meeting for DOIN THE BOT.
It seems we'll be stuck DOIN THE BOT for quite a while.
