Nice how the Sigma Nu HQ's swept that incident (Feb. 1, 2003) under the rug. Get off your high horse man, you won't win any popularity contests with an attitude like yours.

Not trying to win a popularity contest (obviously).
I'm not denying that my own organization has never done anything wrong. I know of at least one chapter that's not recognized by the school that is still recognized by HQ (I think FSU is like that or was). They take it on a case by case basis. HOWEVER, I know that if the school pulled our recognition that we'd very very likely lose our charter.
How could we lose the school's recognition? By being *convicted* of:
Hazing, maintaining extremely low GPA's, serving alcohol to minors etc...
All of it in my opinion is considered "high risk behavior".
Now if you want to PM me, I'll tell you why the TKE chapter here is no longer recongized. For what they've done (and continue to do) they are pretty much just asking for something serious to happen.
An example of another organization's handling something different from the way TKE deals with chapters: there was a KS chapter that was convicted of hazing, some kid got seriously injured (alcohol was involved). They didn't close the chapter, BUT they said they were going to require the house to go dry and raise their insurance premiums. The chapter CHOSE to close.
Sounds like they were there for the wrong reasons.
I'm not against standards that make sure your members are there for the right reasons.
It upsets me because the actions of any GLO reflect on all of the rest. Joe Student doesn't know Sigma Nu from Kappa Sigma to TKE ("it's all Greek to them
"). So when you know one organization is a liability and really has nothing to worry about from continuing their behavior.. well it's not good for anyone.
