Brief excerpts from article:
. . . Chi Phi's national organization has indefinitely suspended its ECU chapter over an Aug. 20 party where authorities cited 77 minors for drinking. The suspension capped a three-week investigation and forestalled disciplinary action by the university. It could be lifted next summer or could continue until 2011.
The ECU chapter cannot recruit new members, hold meetings or parties, raise money for affiliated charities or take part in intramural sports. In a . . . letter to chapter members and ECU officials, Chi Phi national Executive Director Michael Azarian discouraged ECU's 33 members from using the fraternity's letters and symbols.
Failure to follow the national chapter's orders could result in the fraternity's permanent dissolution . . . .
Current Chi Phi members will seek reinstatement, ECU chapter President Tom Francisco said. In the interim, national Chi Phi officials will allow some activity in the spring, he added. . . .
