Stephen being a member of Sigma Alpha Mu at the time that he viciously slapped a girl on national television is indeed relevant TO ME, because well, that's the first time I think any Greek has does such a thing on MTV or any such program. I find that interesting -- sue me.
And no certainly it's not a reflection on Sigma Alpha Mu that they selected this gentleman to become a member in the first place -- nobody has a crystal ball that can determine whether their members will end up committing violent acts against women.
And so far, we don't have any concrete evidence that he was expelled...all that we know is that Stephen from the Real World: Seattle, an at least then-member of Sigma Alpha Mu (a pretty prominent fraternity from what I understand) struck a woman on tv and destroyed her property, and went on to other less than savory acts in his life, including, but not limited to prostitution and theft.
In any case, I think this can serve as a frozen moment in time for Sigma Alpha Mu, or any of our organizations, that we need to be so confident, so sure in our selection of new members, that we will have less occurences of our members embarassing our organizations.
And for the record, I don't think Stephen is a bad person, I think he made bad choices.

Exactly. Stephen has problems as did the Sammy who posted in this thread and only managed to hurt his own fraternity.
Now in regards to AEPi's relationship to the community:
http://www.jewishstudentlife.org/pag...dunderfire.htm
We helped rebuild a Chabad that had burned down in San Diego.
Our previous international charity was Magen David Adom, the Israeli Red Cross. This year our new philanthropy is the Ethiopian Jewish center in Israel where we will do our part in helping new Ethiopian immigrants.
AEPi was the Israel Advocate of the year in 2003 - the first such award given by AIPAC at its national conference.
Listen, I can go on and on and on. Nothing is going to stop AEPi's rise. Now there may be bumps in the road but I believe so strongly in the fraternity's ties to the community and the good that it's doing, that I have no doubt whatsoever that the community loves us back!
