We should all allow a couple of months to pass so enough information is released to where we can make valid assumptions. The members who were forced to alumni status by the general fraternity are accomplishing their goal of rallying support and sympathy. I of course regret when any ill happens to any member of our great fraternity, but for the moment I am withholding any emotions towards this instance. So far we have only heard one side of the story.
As an undergrad in the south, I have a love / hate relationship with nationals. Every southern fraternity feels the same way as my chapter (unless recently colonized; therefore they are biased). I could not imagine having big brother literally next door to me.
Playing drinking games with a keg next to the General Fraternity is like having a meth lab set up next to a police station. Not smart. If the house was occupied by Beta's, but not an official house, I don't see a problem. Does the GF say that members who are MOP are not allowed to consume alcohol as long as they are an undergraduate member?
No alcohol; what image are we trying to send out? I have a few peers who don't drink, but not many. Drinking alcohol goes hand in hand with social events. I understand the problem with underage drinking; it's against the law and should not happen. If to the public we send an image of Beta where its members do not consume alcohol, we would be lying.
Anyway; Lets give it some time. The Alpha chapter, unfortunately, is the testing ground for nationals. In the grand scheme of a bigger and better Beta, somebody is going to get fucked.
I hope everybody is having a good weekend
