Damn, when are they going to get it. Tennesee, Mississippi, Southern Mississippi, Clemson, Vanderbilt and now Alabama. Most of the others have recolonized but I guess the actives think they are 10 feet tall and bullet proof. As with most Fraternities, Kappa Sig takes risk management very seriously.

UCF won their appeal with National but this doesn't look good for the Beta Chapter. I suspect their alums are very pissed.

Sorry, Ghostwriter. That's a shame.
