They knew the rules. The General Fraternity does not close chapters without a great deal of thought and remorse. If these guys screwed up SO BADLY that we are collectively ashamed of their conduct and if their continued operation poses a threat to the General Fraternity with respect to risk management issues, then they have to go. We cannot allow some folks to screw things up for the General Fraternity.

This is even more sad when we reflect on the consequences of the closure: There are young men who will not have the oportunity to find what we have found in Lambda Chi Alpha. Without a Zeta at this campus these young men will not have a chance to discover and learn what we have been privileged to know. And WE are denied the opportunity to know them. We've all lost out in this! All because some brothers screwed up and couldn't play by the rules.

Do I sound pissed off?

Guess what - you're right! These jerks at NIU deprived me of the opportunity to know these young men who would associate in the future. Gang, we all lost with this!
