aka "night of wrecking everything greek at WVU"?

now that sounds like fun

Hey. Writing your advisor may not be wise. Once you go otuside the chapter like that you have no idea where that may go, you will have absolutely no control over what might happen . . to you, to the girls or your chapter.

Also, its a betrayal of your chapter sisters to go to the chapter advisor like that.

Hold off until you explore more options.

Anyway, everyone in my chapter that I've talked to seems to think that the fraternity is being a bunch of crybabies and it's difficult to tell whether they're being stubborn since our president offered the charter back in exchange for a small gift and they won't do it, or if our president is just being stupid by withholding the charter and having them ban all our girls from their house. I think we should give it back and try to reconcile before things get out of hand but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. It may have started in good fun but I really think we need to call it quits. [size=large]I'm going to write to our advisor about it. [/size]

Maybe. They are denying it up and down and swear that it wasn't them.

They apologized about 'over reacting' but sorry is a little to late. I'm all about stupid pranks and having fun, but when they can prank another house and then call the cops for 'protection' against it coming back at them....fuck them.

I will say that stealing a charter is not cool. Composites, trophies, etc is one thing. If my 106 year charter was taken, I'd be furious.

GLO's at my school have been known to do this, too.

Usually we'd "borrow" something small, like paddles, tv remotes, personal items, etc. Mainly because in all the houses here guys aren't allowed upstairs near the girls' personal space. Therefore, if you could get upstairs and get away with grabbing something funny, then you were good. Usually we'd take a polaroid of it with a ransom note to leave on their door. Usually the ransom was something funny... one time we asked to be paid in jelly beans. Thankfully, if this remains in good spirits and refrains from MAJOR chapter items, then things can be fun. Otherwise, I'd say it needs to stop. If someone stole our charter, it'd be war.
