True, but, fraternities are perceived by most of the public to be directly affiliated with the host university (and in reality they are) - so any black eye on the fraternity is also a black eye on the university.
There comes a time when "enough is enough" in the eyes of the administration. Unfortunately, as we see all too often, it's the actions of just a few individuals that destroyed the system for all the members.
I doubt this will be the last time a campus not only threatens, but makes good on a threat. I don't see where they might not have another alternative. The actions and public outcry is getting louder, and I don't see enough actions being taken by the greeks themselves (as in self-policing or corrective actions) as being seen as enough in the eyes of administrations or the public at large.
The question remains: will the greeks finally start doing something beyond talk about fixing their own problems before outside influences do it for them permanently?
