I have to admit, this is a sad issue, but I feel that it is one that needs to be dealt with.

KABillyMac, while I respect your opinion, I have to disagree with you.

The GreekLife forum often has positive topics regarding GLOs. Hazing, vandalism, alcohol/drug abuse is a reality, and it is a problem affecting Greeks today. It should not be something to hide. True, we have parents and potential new members reading these topics, but if they were really serious in joining a GLO, they'd be able to realize that this does not happen in ALL GLOs. Many fraternities and sororities have excellent reputations, but I feel that many people agree with me that there are the bad seeds out there that give us a bad name.

When your chapter encounters a problem, do you simply sweep it under the mat and pray that it goes away? I didn't think so. This problem does not make me ashamed to be Greek, and I do sympathize with the brothers of Sigma Nu, but this topic should be taken with serious consideration. The UofA chapter's gone, and if chapters don't shape up...who'll be the next to go?
