The suspension means the sorority loses its campus dorm suite, can’t recruit new members and can’t participate as a group in campus activities, Miami spokeswoman Claire Wagner said. If the actives don't have a suite, do they still even have chapter meetings? Do they still have to pay dues? And in two years, all you have left is a bunch of (now) freshmen and sophomores who would have a hard time doing recruitment when they are total novices at it. Besides, if yhou can't do campus activities together, sisterhood would be really hard to maintain. (If they'd had a chapter house and lived together instead of just having suites it would have mitigated that somewhat.) Also, when the restrictions are lifted, can you take pledge classes that are 3x the normal size to get up to campus total? And what happens when three houses (TriDelta, AXiD and PiPhi) are trying to do that at the same time? Wow. What a mess. |

I've not seen how it works for a 2 year suspension, but when they're suspended for 4-5 it's essentially folding the chapter and reopening with an entirely new group. That's enough time to wipe out a lot of the bad rep too, though not all of it. It'll depend on how well the current members keep together, and who don't graduate over the next two years (because that will basically wipe out everyone but freshmen and some sophomores) but it will be almost an entirely new chapter as well. No idea how recruitment/new member numbers will work especially if multiple groups are coming off of suspension in the same year. /Mostly conjecture. |

They can live together if they want - by all taking apartments in the same on- or off-campus complex, or signing up for the same dorm, or by a small group of sisters getting a house together off campus and not putting any letters on it. You can't prevent people from doing that. I guess I don't understand why you're focusing on things like the physical plant, when there are chapters out there who go about their entire life without ever having the things that are being taken away from the Miami chapters. If they CHOOSE to work at and maintain their sisterhood, they'll be able to. If all their sisterhood consisted of was being seen on campus, having mixers and having a special suite to live in, they'll fold. Simple as that. Once they come off the suspension, they HAVE to be allowed to bid up to total, whether it is through formal rush or other means. To not allow them to do so would be messing with their freedom of association rights. They can't do their time and then have the school or Panhel say "all NPC sororities are allowed to have 120 members, except you." |
I thought being suspended means that they do not have official chapter meetings or participate in any way in Greek life during that time.
I thought their letter was classy. They accepted responsibility, and sounded as if they understood what they lost by immature decisions, and truly sorry for the damage to the museum and to their sorority. I hope they rebuild successfullly in two years when their suspension is completed. |

and even those that do have housing aren't usually big enough to hold the entire chapter. our house only had room for 7, and it was saved for juniors and seniors. sophomores lived on "The Floor", which was a wing of a dorm designated for sophomore sorority members. each sorority had a wing. my chapter has a new house now though, and all are encouraged to live in it for sophomore and junior year (considered on-campus housing, the college built and owns the house, no live-in fees, it's a part of tuition). The college only allows seniors to live off campus.

Got the young quail out, safely. It happens this time of year; the babies are growing up but haven't quite figured everything out. You have a lot to look forward to :D Mice generally get eaten by the rattlesnakes, or owls, or hawks, or other snakes. Not such a problem here. Packrats, on the other hand... ugh. |

Update May 27, 2010: Alpha Phi at Dayton: Penalties
Station WHIO's site reports: http://www.whiotv.com/news/23696082/detail.html Excerpt: Posted: 11:24 am EDT May 27, 2010 Updated: 2:54 pm EDT May 27, 2010 DAYTON, Ohio -- A University of Dayton disciplinary board has placed the campus chapter of Alpha Phi sorority on one-year probation for damaging a downtown Dayton banquet hall during a late March social event. According to University officials, the chapter will be required to make full restitution to the University for $2,309, which the University paid to the hall's owners for repairs; engage in alcohol-education activities; and make public written apologies to the University of Dayton campus community as well as the Dayton community. During the probation, which extends through May 15, 2011, all sorority events must be alcohol-free and the group is prohibited from holding events off campus. . . . Quote:

What in the name of all that is holy is going on at Miami? The following was taken from the ZTA national website
Official Statement from Zeta Tau Alpha on Beta Delta Chapter at Miami University Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity agrees with and respects the decision made May 27 by Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) to place our Beta Delta Chapter on probation for two years. A small percentage of our members violated our national policies while traveling by bus to a social event at the Cincinnati Zoo on April 23, 2010. Their conduct did not reflect the standards and values of our Fraternity. Prior to the university hearing, our National Council had conducted our own investigation that resulted in a Fraternity-imposed probation and educational sanctions that the chapter must follow when school reopens in August. “We regret that the actions of some of our members and their guests were inappropriate,” National President Laura Ladewig Mauro said. “Our internal investigation revealed that the majority of our members and their guests conducted themselves properly during the party at the zoo and on the buses. However, we teach our members that their individual actions reflect on the whole chapter and the entire Fraternity and we must remain diligent in reinforcing our values.” Zeta Tau Alpha installed Beta Delta Chapter at Miami on March 18, 1926. The chapter has been a consistent recipient of Fraternity awards since 2000. Zeta Tau Alpha was founded in 1898 at the State Female Normal School (now Longwood University) in Farmville, Va., and has 152 active collegiate chapters and more than 205,000 members worldwide. One of the nation’s largest Greek women’s groups, ZTA develops members’ leadership, academic and service skills, and supports breast cancer education and awareness as its national philanthropy.

So now the question remains why two years from ZTA and AXiD and only one for Pi Phi?
I think the administration and all remaining groups at Miami need to take a hard look at Greek Life at Miami. 4 NPC organizations have been seriously sanctioned or closed in the past year. That is really scary. |
What in the name of all that is holy is going on in Ohio!?!?!
