How would that ruine their reputation....most problems that arise that do not concern death or something of an extreme serious nature are dealt with privately. Try again. And yes, there has been a State Senator from SAE UT that has helped in some situations.

Not naive at all. Powerful alums can mean a lot of things. For example, we have a chapter here in Oklahoma that had a hazing issue in the mid 90's. It was not something that the school prosecuted -- the alums did. That door swings both ways. These are the guys that donate money to the chapter. To the chapter's existance, and to their huge financial stake, you as an individual don't mean a damned thing, nor does any active member of your chapter. Your duty is to them.
Don't be foolish with that responsibility.
