Max, first thanks for the link to the news article.
It does appear to be the suspended fraternity members filing the suit and they have named the General fraternity as defendents in the suit.
The Gen fraternity decided in January that the chapter is now just suspended, rather than removed. I'm not sure I agree with this, but I do recognize the Constitutional grounds on which the lawsuit is filed.
I think that more than likely they will win if it goes to trial, but it won't, as I assume that the members will settle, particularly since the 300 mill is a ridiculous amount of money.
In my own opinion, being a brother of Beta, I find it somewhat irritating that these members didn't think about how this would all reflect on Beta. I know that my own chapter stresses how actions of one member reflect on Beta as a whole during our pledge program. So the fact that they failed to realize how horrible this looked is very annoying, and the fact that their brothers didn't step in and say something...Perhaps I don't understand the culture of the South.
