Any house on probation has a target on their backs and could be shut down whenever. I hope DG can weather the probation storm but they are in a tough spot. But its the XO situation that has been questionable from day 1 when they did membership review. I think I have much more respect for the nationals that simply shut the house down after membership review rather than simply trying to fix the problem as the 'fix' seems to simply cripple the house morale and culture. If I had to draw a cartoon of the house that loses members to 'membership review' I think it would be of some poor animal that has been hit by a truck on the road and is simply gasping for air and trying to stay alive. The problem is that the animal is breathing its last breaths of air and will be dead shortly. I feel quite sorry for the people that are in XO as how do you bring back a house that has essentially been horsewhipped? I think it was financial greed that kept the house open pure and simple and that is truly pathetic but I don't think most of our nationals are frankly any different. Its all about the $.
