I don't see any problem with posting "bad news" here. After all, the information
is readily available, and not mentioning it here makes it look like we're
"sweeping it under the rug"....something fraternities are known for doing
anyway.
An 18-yo rushee might even be impressed that a bunch of old geezers
(you're old if you're over 25yo) would even CARE what the frat boys are
doing. Unfortunately, others may say "Phi K Phi had the most arrests...
they must have the most fun...I'm going there!"
I would only have two suggestions:
- post more GOOD NEWS (like the brother rescuing the baby from the fire)
- keep the discussion civil, no need to make personal attacks. I know, this
is how American society is today (especially in politics), but some of us
still have hope that one day we'll return to the days when those who
disagree passionately can still be the best of friends, even fraternity
brothers.
Oh, and I think HQ is in Indy because the state of IN passed laws (tax,
incorporation, etc) favorable to national fraternity HQ's...thus about
half of them are there
RX this weekend! I can't wait!
