I am thinking that the only people that can stop this are the brothers living in the house. They need to stand up and say "get the eff outta here if you're going to do that.". If that doesn't work, they need to get the cops involved.

Sad, but unfortunately it happens.

It all starts with rush and pledging. Rush good guys, educate them properly, and you'll get good alumni. Rush an assbag, you'll have an assbag for an alumni. I have seen too many cases of that. booo
Sounds like step #1 is to get the HC to be the leaseholder. As an alumni corporation, you definitely want some say as to how your chapter runs their property. It's crucial to your long-term goals which an active alum housing corp should be very interested and involved in.

See what you can do about that over the long haul. In the meantime, get your chapter president on board with you wanting this guy forbidden to trespass on your property. Get an attorney to help you put together a letter or whatever needs to be put together to say something to that effect. It shouldn't be too hard, but I'm sure the law is different in your state than it is here.

Our active chapter had a similar problem with this nutso resident of the community who kept coming onto greek property, getting us cited for phantom noise violations, etc. a couple years ago. After he received a strongly worded letter, we never heard from him again, at least not to my knowledge.
