Disbanned Chapter
 

Any ideas to get a chapter back after being shutdown on campus for several violations. They won't even let us be a colony because of budget cuts. We still have a private house off campus but they advise students to not rush unrecognised groups.

QFP

"Disbanned????"

Datbanned?

Public or private school?

This drives me absolutely crazy. The word you are looking for in your title is DISBANDED.

You might also be banned, but that's a different word. This is not a Girl Talk mash-up.

If you're running underground, DON'T TALK ABOUT YOUR CHAPTER ON THE INTERNET. Unless your national has given you permission, not only are you in Dutch with the school, you are now in dutch with your nationals too. I'm assuming they're the ones who gave you the "budget cuts" rap as I have never heard of a school using such an excuse as a reason for not wanting a fraternity on campus.

If you really want to get your chapter back on campus legitimately, you need to cease operations now and stay off for as long as you're told, by your nationals AND by your school.

Especially if it's already being discussed here: St. Lawrence U (NY) Suspends Alpha Tau Omega Chapter

Maybe lambdaguy is in a different chapter, but discretion is the better part of valor.

And seriously, lambdaguy, this a question you should be having with ATO leadership, not with random strangers on the internet.

33, it depends on ATO's policy with regard to chapters no longer welcome at the school. It depends on whether ATO has pulled their charter or not. And whether the school is public or private will weigh on whether this chapter has to do anything the school asks of them.

ETA:

It appears your school is private, so you're screwed. Do what you're told or you could potentially face more serious consequences up to and including expulsion. It sounds like you still have your charter. Bet your alumni are pissed.

Which goes to my point -- ATO leadership is who he needs to be talking to.

That's why I said "unless your national has given you permission."

I also wouldn't assume that this guy = guy from St Lawrence. They are the Alpha Omicron chapter. The Lambda chapter is somewhere else.

Yes folks, you're right, I'm right. We're saying the same thing here.

"Depends on ATO's policies" = "ask your HQ."

I know. But the Lambda chapter (Cumberland University) has long been dormant, I think.

It certainly may not be the same chapter. Still, discretion . . . .

This make me think of Golden Girls.

Sophia: "It is too!"
Dorothy: "OK then use it in a sentence."
Sophia: "You're no good at disdamn game."

Buuuuuut...

"You're no good at disdamn game!"

:p

Oh yeah - you're right! It's been a while since I've seen that episode. Going to edit now.
