I have a few comments about that letter. For starters, it's been exactly 6 years since the GHB incident. It happened during Homecoming 2000. I should know because we were doing Homecoming with SAE that year.

Furthermore, the GHB incident wasn't just some brother making and selling the drug in the house. The brother ended up making a lethal dose of GHB which he sold to some Kappa Sigs who were using the drug to help with their work-outs. (a lot of bodybuilders use GHB for this purpose) Two of the brothers were violently ill and another brother was put on life support for days. It was a horrible and sobering experience for the entire UCF Greek community.

Whether you like it or not, the past indiscretions of organizations are always brought up in the future. It happens with companies as well. There are a ton of companies out there who are still paying the price for something that happened many years ago. It does not matter that the people who were involved in the unfortunate incidents are no longer around. People tend to remember negatives more than positives - it's just a fact of life. The best thing a group can do is learn from the mistakes that their older members have made in the past and do their best not to make those mistakes again.

I don't think anyone will truly know what happened at the SAE house that night. But, when you have suspicious activity at the house for the 3rd time in 6 years, it doesn't look good. And the people who determined SAE's fate would, of course, look at the history. Had this been the first time the UCF SAEs had a problem, I'd bet they'd still be on campus right now.

Let this be a lesson to all undergraduates. You might think that what your chapter did 5 or 10 years ago doesn't or shouldn't matter. It does matter. Learn from the mistakes that your brothers and sisters made and don't screw up again.
