33: I finally had the chance to research this in more detail. Generally speaking, our Supreme Council consists of an Eminent Supreme Archon ("fraternity president"), Eminent Supreme Deputy Archon ("fraternity vice president"), Eminent Supreme Warden (for all intents and purposes, 'fraternity treasurer,' though not officially designated as such), Eminent Supreme Herald and Eminent Supreme Chronicler (both national directors, generally). Our national officers and their chapters' risk management histories are as follows:
ESA Brad Cohen - Arizona Alpha - University of Arizona
- Dry Chapter
- 2009: University Probation/ Violation of University Rules of relating to alcohol policies during a fall 2009 social event. University imposed 1 year probation through fall 2010.
- 2010: University Probation/ Violation of University hazing rules during fall 2010. SAE approved Alumni Commission and membership review. 1 year University probation through fall 2011.
- 2012: University Probation for hosting unregistered events and violations of university alcohol policies. Probation runs until Dec. 16, 2012.
ESDA Steve Churchill - Iowa Gamma - Iowa State University
- Dry Chapter
- 2011: University Deferred Suspension and Social Probation/ Hazing and alcohol related policy violations during the fall 2011 semester. Both Deferred Suspension and Social Probation run through spring 2013 semester.
ESW Tom Dement - Tennessee Beta - Middle Tennessee State
- 2011: University Social Probation & Fraternity Alumni Commission/ The chapter violated alcohol policies and failed a house inspection during summer 2011. University Social Probation through May 2012, Loss of recruitment and intramurals through December 2011 . SAE approved Alumni Commission.
- 2012: University Disciplinary Probation/ Violated University and Fraternity Risk Management policies related to alcohol and event during the spring 2012 semester. Placed on Disciplinary Probation by University through August 31, 2013.
- 2013: The chapter Alumni Commission moved to surrender the charter following health-and-safety violations associated with hazing and alcohol during the fall 2013 semester. The chapter charter shall remain suspended until the summer of 2016.
- CHAPTER IS CLOSED
ESH Greg Brandt - Iowa Delta - Drake University
- In good standing, no risk management history.

Or are there other options available to bring this up before the 2015 Convention?

There is; it provides that the national president, with the advice and consent of the national officers, can send out a direct mail ballot. Unfortunately, these are the same people who unilaterally forced this on us, so they're unlikely to agree to do so. There does not presently exist any other means of accomplishing this, though I suspect some proposal(s) to amend the national laws to this effect may well be submitted. I'm afraid we're stuck with this new program at least until mid-2015, whether we like it or not.
