Former W& L Sig Ep's file Suit.
I subscribe to the Google News-search on fraternities, recently an article was posted describing the ongoing battle between the former Washington and Lee SPE chapter and the National Organization of SPE.
The article stated that the former chapter had filed suit in Virginia Circuit Court against the national org. on the basis of slander/lible causes of action and for a declaratory Judgment that the revocation of the chapter charter relased the members from membership in the fraternity thus allowing the members to affiliate with Alpha Delta Phi.
The article goes on to mention that the failure to relase could constitute an illegal restraint on trade as it limits the number of orgs. at W&L.
Washington and Lee officials state in the article that they have no evidence of wrondoing by the chapter.
What an interesting situation, maybe Breathes Gelatin can give us an update us on the situation.
