Why has this turned into a pick on Pike thread? None of us is without problems.

I agree. I've edited out the offending material.

Any further comments about PKA and its so-called reputation will be deleted.

DeltAlum has stated the obvious as usual.

There is not a one of us as Greeks who have not had problem chapters and they have been closed, suspended, or sanctioned for a multitude of reasons.

All anyone has to do is keep and eye on GC to see it weekly.

THANK YOU!!!! As the thread starter (and updater ;)), I was quite angry that this thread was hijacked.

BTW, I haven't heard any updates about this situation..

As a potential UF Pike pledge, I don't like where this story stalled. I'm a freshman and was planning to go Greek this upcoming spring semester. My dad was a Pike in the 70s even VP for a few years. The guys I met on game days, brothers and alums, I liked, then this story came out. I wish it would come out if UF is going to punish them further, lift the suspension, whatever. The tox results have to be in, I tend to think GPD has nothing or it would make the Gville Sun or Alligator.

hmm I wondered the same thing because I know the fraternities are looking towards and planning spring recruitment. I wonder what happened?

I have a friend from hs who's currently a pike and I heard a far different story from him about what happened (he was there and I trust him), so I'm not sure I believe the spin the news had.

Don't we all wonder about some of the media spin on items presented?

If it ain't bad news, it is not news?

Sorry DeltAlum, but it just seems the norm at times. :(

DeltAlum 12-02-2006 12:54 PM

If there was nothing to report, it wouldn't be in the news at all, would it?

The Trouble is how true that is.

I guess the time will tell the tale!:)

I dont trust the media too much after an incident that happened to my own chapter while I was active. They put a major spin on the story, which made us look like we had much more involvement then we actually did.

Not all journalists are totally objective -- and that's unfortunate. That can be particularly true in college and/or small markets.

The point, though, is that if nothing questionable happens, it won't be reported.

As I've always said, it's way to easy to blame the media and use it as an excuse.

Don't screw up and the media will ignore you.

That's why they call it news.

Unfortunately, this chapter's reputation precedes them. If they hadn't had so many issues with similar accusations in the past, I don't think it would be as big of a deal as people made it.

From the get-go there was no evidence of sexual battery, and now the tox-screens show the girls were not drugged. Basically their fate boils down to how UF will punish a house that served alcohol to minors that has had suspensions/probations.

Is spring rush over? How did they do?
