Appreciating that your question was asked and answered privately, it takes this way down, IMO. Harris' answer (even privately) that he retains all fraternal rights/privilges, leaves open to question and interpretation exactly what his "ostracization" means, and to what extent, if any, it was institutional.
Well my guess is out of respect for the fraternity, he didn't share that with me. You could probably find out the answer, though.
I guess you could start by finding out if your fraternity has ever invited him to speak at a convention, have they spurned any attempts by him to market his book, etc. I know other D9 orgs have had him speak and helped to market his books because he is a Black author. Just a thought.

I merely posted it to stop the membership being revoked rumor, and that the fraternity did not specifically tell him not to mention them in his book.
