West Virginia University's Beta Theta Pi chapter has been suspended and its house condemned. The house failed to meet fire code and was overcrowded during a party where alcohol was being served. Beta also failed to register their party and is supposed to be a dry house, according to the article.

Yeah...that's my chapter.

The language is horrible in the paper.

The majority of the code violations were fixed on sat. They just need an inspector to come up and look over things.

I have no idea what consequences they will face, but there were not any police reports, or underage/alcohol violations. Basically, no party report and some fire code violations.

Best of luck to your chapter.

good luck, this is sounds like misplaced paperwork.

Sounds like a witch hunt.

WOW, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT can just hit the door and come in?

Hope the Fellow Members of BTPi can over come this BS!

Well, the final word is the Beta's are on social probation for the rest of this semester with WVU. They are in a little more trouble with the General Fraternity, but in the end this could be a positive thing and light a fire underneath actives and alumni. Some serious changes needed to be made, and this could be speeding that process up.
