A couple points:
1). I agree with Tom's belief that we should try to handle things in house. I was really disapointed a year ago whwn an undergraduate brother of mine made an inapproperate comment and a sorority girl overheard. Instad of havign their president talk to our president or advisor to advisor, she went to the greek advisor and it caused the group some embarrassment. This VERY NAIEVE new member had no idea of what was up. In this day of bad PR all around, we shoudl limit what we expose to the media. Partly by our actions, but partly by just beign smart.
2) If the Lambda Chi's at SMU broke the rules and got caught, they deserve the punishment they get. Really, it aint that big of a deal for those boys. I can assure you 5K to them is like a 50 spot to the rest of us. Also, them being a Grand High Alpha Chapter (the highest award you can get as an undergraduate chapter), their alums donating the 2nd most amount to Lambda Chi annually and being the home base for the strongest Alumni Association in the nation, these boys will weither this storm with no problem. The national org will let them get a way with MUCH more than many other chapters.
3) L(h)oosier, you need to change the title of this thread. Let me be very clear on this issue... You dont speak for me. You dont speak for my brothers. Dont EVER allow yourself the luxury of thinking that you do. And dont put words in my/our mouths, understand? I am a Lambda Chi. Very proud too. I dont hate Sig Eps. I hate it when my brothers do stupid shit and get caught. I hate it when people try to get people riled up using inflamitory speach. Its simple pimple; change the title... because tomorrow I'll be asking Amy and Zeta to do so.
