I'm not directly involved with this situation, but have heard (from those involved) of what occurred.

1) What sort of testimony was given by the alleged victim? Did she testify in person? Was there an opportunity for cross-examination? In other words, did Beta have the opportunity to confront its accuser?

It's my understanding that she testified via email/fax, after refusing to be there in person or via phone/video.

I think it's also important to point out that Beta Theta Pi, as a General Fraternity, continues to recognize the UCF Chapter as an entity despite the university's lack of recognition.

Here's a few other situations I've found where fraternities sued their host institutions:

"Expelled Fraternity Sues College" http://www.dickinson.edu/dickinsonian/detail.cfm?1921

"Christian Fraternity Sues U. of Florida Over Denial of Recognition" http://chronicle.com/article/Christi...y-Sues-U/39206

A book, "The Law of Higher Education", By William A. Kaplin, Barbara A. Lee, had some court cases in it as well.

"Alabama college ordered to reinstate suspended fraternity members" http://www.freedomforum.org/template...cumentID=15414
