W & L Situation

First of all, the expectations from our national fraternity are not unreasonable. Sigma Phi Epsilon doesn't tolerate mediocrity, they expect their chapters to be among the best on campuses all over the nation-that's how we got to the top of the fraternity world, and that's how we're going to stay there, is Nationals' thinking. (I assume). I seriously doubt that nationals would disband a chapter and pull its' charter based simply on evidence from a disgruntled former housemom. The evidence might be enough to warrant sending the Regional Director (who is the rep for nationals to the different chapters in his region) and have him investigate, and if he finds sufficient cause, he'll walk out of the house with the charter. If they were hazing, then that's one strike against them, even if it was "mild". Nationals has zero tolerance when it comes to hazing, trust me. Having bad relations with nationals doesn't help, either. I've had to deal with our national fraternity, and it's not always fun, but they have always tried to help us improve when we've needed to, it hasn't been "you need to get better, or else". But, I guess I don't know all the particulars of the situation. I'm just speaking from my experience as a Sig Ep. I hope things work out well for the new ADPhis, and I hope they remember the oath they took when they were intiated into Sig Ep, cause if they don't, we've got a problem. I think y'all know what I mean.

In Phi,
