i was just reviewing some of the cases i or family members have been involved with and thought of just the same thing. perhaps could be added on later. and if this happened within a dorm room, i would have been surprised if the school had not been served. in this case, from what little we have seen of it, the chapter and fraternity could be looked at as a entity separate from the school.

which includes this: "The 20-year-old woman filed a civil lawsuit Tuesday in Palm Beach County. She seeks more than $15,000 in damages from Ben Farias, 21; Kyle Kraft, 20; and the UF chapter of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity for invasion of privacy and other offenses."
"The suit claims the fraternity failed to adequately supervise its members, based on previous incidents there.
The same year as the taping, UF’s chapter of Delta Tau Delta had incidents in which two underage students drinking at the house were sent to the emergency room, according to UF records.
The fraternity received a social suspension through fall 2007 and was not allowed to recruit new members in spring 2006 and fall 2007, those records show. Orlando said the fraternity is currently in good standing."
is the proper term prior bad acts? and if so, or something similar, seems as if they are coming back to haunt them.
