I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I still believe that any judge in his/her right mind would not allow such a frivolous suit to go forward. Anyways, would'nt the university be just as liable and have deeper pockets than LXA? Shouldn't the greek system should have handled it?
LXA won't be held responsible for something a person, with absolutely no ties to the fraternity, does. It's a baseless claim.
And if it was allowed, think of how it would change our system. Now anyone convicted of a crime can simply state they are part of an organization/fraternity/sorority (true or not) and automatically be covered under the insurance?
Here is my personal opinion that I think we all share. I consider it utter bull$hit that a national organization is held responsible for something a member does. Why aren't the parents, school, coaches, church held equally responsible? I am still shocked that judges have continued to uphold the fraternities responsibility of all aspects in a members life and not other organizations. Why isn't Ron Artest's team held responsible for his actions? Why aren't the Masons held responsible for all their membership? If a person screws up, frat member or not, it should be that persons responsibility for compensation.
I don't think that simply because 1, 2 or 3 people commit a crime outside of the realm of fraternity that the national organization should be held responsible.
