I found the fact that they were comparing themselves to the modern Germans having to pay repartions for the atrocities of WW2 to be a bit of a stretch. If there are several allegations and incidents within a close span of years it does not matter if you were "12 years old" when the first alleged incident occured. It's called social responsibility and repeated allegations and incidents in the news leads to a pattern of behavior where the older members are going to attract similiar newer members and encourage similiar patterns of behavior.
That being said... Closing a chapter, whatever the reason, is never an easy decision. My sympathies do go out to the members, SAE and the UCF Greek Community. It affects everyone.
That also being said I hope the men of the closed chapter maintain their friendships but at least respect the decision that they are a closed chapter. Holding unofficial events (as we have seen happen at other campuses) with other Greek groups will only lead to further disruption in the UCF Greek System, not to mention the Risk Management issues involved for all concerned. I hope all concerned (closed chapter and active chapters) have the common sense to maintain their friendships and realize that there are to be no parties or activities with "SAE." I'd hate to see a sorority lose recognition or be placed on probabtion for failing to use good judgement.
