In this thread, we list all of the chapters which have been closed down for Risk Management related issues in the 2009/2010 school year. I'll try to keep the top updated.

Some folks might object to this, but I think this will be a useful, if not sobering look at the cost of not paying close attention to risk management policies. Please post or PM charter revocations to me which occur between Jan 1st, 2009 (we'll have 3 semesters in this thread and 2 from here on out) through the close of the Spring '10 semester.

I make no guarantees that this information is complete (it's probably not since it's only based on what I've been told and been able to verify) or even correct.

Finally, I know Kappa Sigma is not NIC. I do not care. I'm grouping them where they fit.

Are you sure about Sigma Chi? I thought that was just a temporary thing based on their campus IFC?

[Kevin]

You're right BC. I'll take that down. I was just trying to get some stuff up. Their charter hasn't been suspended, just their organizational status with the school.

ETA: My bad. They were suspended by the SOO, not JB. Which is odd. Normally, alcohol violations are examined by our Judical Board first. I'm not sure why they were suspended by the SOO first.

I believe a final decision is due this week. My understanding is that SOO took over because of the other issues the chapter was facing and thought it was too much for J-Board. Based on what is going on with J-Board, that sounds right.

Yep, should be interesting to see what is decided, considering J-Board seems to have been in violation of its bylaws for years. BH always needs something, I guess.

I'm afraid it'd look pretty cluttered if I did that, but I'll give it a shot. I'm sure about the ones which are up there right now, so I'm just going to leave those alone, but from here on out, good point. I'll do that.

My only concern will be that since these things are linking to a lot of campus publications and other sorts of sites that many of these links will be dead after awhile.

ETA: There wasn't much there, so I updated the links.

It might look less cluttered if you did something like this:

ZBT, Illinois, April, 2009 (Drugs)

True, but then again, I've already spent enough time on this thing today.

I want this thing to be as quick and easy for me to update as possible and I've got a system now. Your way probably would have been better if I'd have thought about it from the beginning. Your idea is a good one this year, so it'll probably also be a good idea next year.

Just throwing out a suggestion

Good idea with this thread, btw

[LaneSig]

Zeta Tau Alpha Headquarters has closed their Alpha chapter at Longwood University due to RMF violations.

The chapter had previously been suspended and reinstated earlier in the semester.


ETA: Edited links out (not working). The story in in Longwood's online paper, therotundaonline.com.

[Kevin]

None of those links works.

Referring to the ZTA closing: http://media.www.therotundaonline.co...-3738286.shtml

[AOII Angel]

Maybe this is the website that should be linked since it has the official press releases from both ZTA and Longwood. http://www.longwood.edu/ofsl/Zetaclosing.htm
