I think that some of the information should be for members only, such as members on suspension and probation. That has nothing to do with prospects UNLESS they have been suspended or placed on probation for hazing. This will alert prospects of persons that may approach them about membership when they are not even active. If they are just suspened, etc. for something that would not affect prospects, such as late with dues, etc., then that should be keep private. I feel that the chapter suspension and probations should be listed. That would cut down on confusion and specualtion. No prospect would have an excuse for participating in ANYTHING with a chapter that is not active. Although it is easy to walk into the Office of Greek Affairs (or whatever it is called on your respective campus) and find out about a chapter's status, some people regard this as going to question the Great Oz. It would be right at their fingertips.
As far as persons that have been blackballed, I am up in the air about that. It does seem like a huge embarrassment! However, if they have openly participated in hazing activities and got caught, then that is a consequence that they have to suffer. The hazing policy lists what will not be tolerated. You go against it, you get what's coming to you.
