I guess I'm not completely clear on this because there's something I don't completely understand. Are you saying that FIPG is a communal bank pool and that if there's 10 million in there and ABC does something bad to get sued for 10 million then the pool is gone and the other fraternities lose their insurance? Or are you saying that fraternities getting sued can lead to a higher rate for other fraternities by insurance companies just like there was a spike after 9/11?
