I'm a forgiving person and I understand people make decisions not so smart that punish other people as well. But at least in the long run everyone learns a lesson from it and become better people... or I would hope so anyway.

In all honesty, I was just putting it out there (since we no longer have a chapter link on their Greek page-unless it has been fixed) that we are on probation. Do I agree with it? Maybe not. I have no idea what happened but, unless someone was sent to the hospital with alcohol poisoning or seriously hurt, I do believe that there are times International/ National Headquarters of ANY GLO tend to consider some minor things to be "hazing." If you've ever read the book "Wrongs of Passage" (shout out to narraht for pointing out that book to me-thanks) you'll see I'm right.
In fact, as an Iraq war veteran, myself, I find the one story in this book about Phi Mu at Widener to be very offensive. The "abuse" this woman endured does not, in my eyes, warrant a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. For those of you who haven't checked out the book, please do. It really is nothing more than a sensational piece.
I am sad when ANY Phi Mu chapter is shut down or put on probation so, please don't assume I don't care about this. I think the chapter at UNC-G is a great group of women and I hope they are able to go back, sometime soon.
