A little off subject but.....
The directors of Beta national and the staff that run the administrative office operate in a manner that is conspicuously "politically correct". Beta national will very often abandon a chapter for the slightest of infractions. I think Beta will do this more so than any other greek organization.
From what I can determine, this seems (not always) to be the case with the several large fraternities that have created what are basically "two tiered" organizations (i.e. Men of Principle, Balanced Man etc.).
The fact that Beta national is supporting the UCF chapter is a bit unusual (which is good for a change). It could be, in part, that Beta national is supporting the UCF chapter because it is a "Men of Principle" chapter. It makes me sad to say this, but if the UCF chapter were not a Men of Principle chapter, the support may not have been there.
Unfortunately, from what I can tell, it seems the fraternities that have two tiered systems may not treat all their chapters equally. This reality appears to be rather odd given the concept of what a fraternity is supposed to be.
Is anyone surprised that a university handled this situation the way it did? It's no secret that many people on staff at many colleges and universities in the United states are some of the most unethical and morally bankrupt folks out there. The decision on Beta by UCF should not have come as a surprise to anyone.
