A few disorganized thoughts on the situation..

As far as the internal aspects of this go, I'm sure that most NIC fraternities are similar in the way they handle issues with their membership.

For one thing you have a colony. Colonies can kick members out 2 ways: President kicks them out or they are voted out. I'm not sure about the first one, it is allowable in a Sigma Nu colony not sure about someone else.

Trials: Colonies (at least Sigma Nu ones [that's where my experience lies, but I'm assuming most are pretty similar]) do not have 'trials'. They are all on the same level as pledges/newmembers/candidates. They are either worthy of becoming initiates or they are out.

XYZ *REALLY* needs to handle their own stuff. At least in my fraternity (and again I'm blindly transferring these rules to XYZ house but again I feel it can't be that different) you RARELY will admit a profane (non initiate) into a trial proceeding.

When it comes right down to it though, XYZ will act or they won't. If they do not stand up and defend women in sororities from their own pledges they aren't of the character that ANYONE would want as far as being founding fathers especially.

It sounds like this guy is a huge liability for them and he's digging his own grave. If this isn't the last nail in the coffin, not to worry -- in my experience they don't stop at one major F*** up.
