The July 27, 2006 online issue of the U. of Maryland’s student paper, [I]The Diamondback[I], reports that the university has de-recognized the Beta Theta Pi chapter there. The exact reasons for the decision are not given, although there are allusions to rule violations. The article says that Beta HQ supported the university’s decision. A re-colonization may be sought in two years. See

Excerpt: [I]“The fraternity’s national office had also become involved in trying to improve the chapter, but Beta’s National Director for Chapter Services Jud Horras said his office ultimately supported the university’s decision to close the chapter.”[I]
