To coastalpike:
Earlier in the thread you said that the University suspended the chapter but hasn't provided the chapter with any details. You also mentioned that you were an alumnus (not an active brother) of that chapter.
I find it hard to believe that the University suspended your chapter without the chapter having a clue (I'm speaking as a Greek Advisor here...). Are you sure the Chapter President (or someone else) hasn't discussed this with the Greek Advisor, and is just saying they haven't been given details in order to "cover their butt"?
I ask because I have dealt with a chapter before that has a rather large judicial file, has had quite a few sanctions, and when the President and Advisor received letters detailing this info (and had several conversations with me about it, went through the judicial process, etc.), they never told the whole chapter the situation. Seriously...chapter members were pissed at me because "I was out to get them". It was only when I wrote a three page long letter outlining everything the chapter had failed to do in the past 2 years and sent it to every member's personal mailbox did they finally "get it". Long story short, the chapter president was failing to communicate...he just didn't tell anyone (he definitely didn't tell alumni), and flat out lied to National Consultants. The sad part is he trained the next chapter president to do exactly the same thing.
So...I'd double check with the chapter's faculty advisor (the one who works on campus) and see if you can get any information from them. Also, there would have to be someone from your HQ who knows everything that's happened and might be willing to share with alumni. I know that not every Greek Advisor is perfect and has the best interest of the students in mind, but most of us aren't horrible people.
(let's not turn this into "bash the GA" either....there are some good discussion points in this whole situation we can focus on).
