Brother,
As seen another thread, which while about hazing was not here, Florida law has several major holes in it.

And, as activly discussed in RM in several threads, many of the laws while very well needed, meant, and/or wished for are rushed though with lack of clarity.
Why? Well just how often do you read about off campus houses having problems? Or dorms? You generally do not.
However, if any member or members of a GLO do anything out of "norm", the GLO is front and center in the news even if the chapter was not connected to the event or problem.
And that is just one of the many reasons.
Another one is the there are members and there are chapters that just do things that one should not do. And those members and chapters help bring "doom and gloom" on the rest of us.
And Brother, I am speaking from experience: The SAE Riot was front page news for weeks. Yet we did not riot. Two other chapters did, on our front lawn.
And much later, due to many factors such as poor leadership, drinking, and hazing, School and National pulled Charter.
Along the way, two other chapters on campus lost charters as well. Do not know their reasons.
