It's always good for us to pay attention to these sort of reminders. Looking at that house, I have to imagine that Beta had a lot of good things going for it at UM. The current members, however, seem to have seen fit to piss all of their alums' work away by disregarding the rules.

I may be a little quick to judgment here, but the above seems to be true more often than it is not.

That said, with facilities like that, they must have supportive alums. If that is so, they may recover nicely. I recall that a similar incident happened with the Betas at Oklahoma State. They have bounced back nicely from it, and are now one of the better houses on campus (or at least, they were the last time I was there).
