Max,
In terms of context, see below. I copied this from James' original post. Read the last sentence:
"Expell members that drink underage. Immediately. They are in violation of the Law and are the single greatest threat to in terms of liability.
If they are drinking underage and get hurt the lawsuit is much more likely to come.
I am not advocating this personally, but this is certainly the where the context of many of our conversations are taking us."
I read SoCal's post. So now we have two quotes to deal with -- the one from the SD Newspaper and the one from the release from the school and/or fraternity. I don't know which is correct. Anyway, I would guess that their organization uses the 5 year period as some sort of benchmark. In any event, in these days it is more than possible that even if the two violations were at the extreme ends of five years, there were/are still members who cross both violations during their time in the chapter.
By the way, it doesn't matter whether James advocates automatic expulsion or not. I just got home from a lunch with a number of Delt alums and one of the other Division VP's, who is sitting on an Alumni Supervisory Committee at one of our chapters told us that liability insurance for Delt chapters will increase by 50% this year. That means that more than half of the chapter's budget will go to National Dues and insurance. How can we keep this up?
