With respect, stay away from ALL "Five Star" programs or things of that nature. It gives the University (read: this Dean, an innate adversary) the power to shape the goals and purpose of YOUR fraternity, and to punish for arbitrary reasons. It is a Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter, and ONLY the standards of Sig Ep apply. These chapters belong to the fraternity, not to the whims of self-important mid-level administrators. And by the way, our chapters do not have to "prove" anything in order to receive and maintain recognition. It is up to the University to "prove" that an individual fraternity's behavior is eggregious. No system-wide group punishment should be allowed.
You know, it always surprises me when these arrogant Deans issue edicts as if they don't know that they have no power to enforce them. I guess they depend on ignorance and intimidation to further their grab for power.
