Alpha Epsilon Phi has closed its chapter at the U. of Michigan. Risk management issues are cited in the student paper's story:

Women will be allowed to live in the house until the end of this semester. AEPhi will retain ownership of the house.

They were one of the groups who were investigated on hazing issues and found "guilty" by the University in the big hazing "sting" on that campus this year, along with 3 Fraternities. It is no surprise to me that they would maintain ownership of the house. Those are huge, multi-million dollar homes at the U of Mich.

You just don't sell houses like that!

I'm saddened too by this...my Mother was the President of the Pi Chapter in the late 1960s (around 1965 or 1966 I think) and some of her closest friends still are her sisters. She just came back yesterday in fact from a week long trip with 3 AEPhi sisters (one of whom was her little sis in the house...how cute!). When I called her this evening to let her know about this she was really upset. Their house is BEAUTIFUL--and it's the house my Mom lived in--the room leading out onto that upper balcony was the President's room.
I hope that AEPhi will be able to re-establish their charter at U of M in the next few years and that these girls can realize the magnitude of what they got themselves into.

Hi Bear,

This is a serious situation and I'm sorry to make light of your post, but it seems to me that 1965 or 1966 are in the MID 60's...The same time when I was in college.

I graduated in the LATE 60's...notably 1969.

Sorry again, it just struck me as funny. It's really too bad about your mom's chapter.

I wish her and the chapter all the best.
