The campus newspaper will be a rather interesting read for the next few days and weeks to come.
http://media.www.thedailyaztec.com/m...-3366132.shtml :
Phi Kappa Psi President David Lee said he was shocked when he heard about the drug investigation.

"I had no idea that any member of our fraternity did anything of this nature," Lee said. "We've always had a zero tolerance rule on any illegal substances. This year, we've implemented a harsher rule that anyone using or selling these illegal substances would be kicked out."

Lee said he was unaware of the underground drug trafficking because of the way the fraternity house is set up.

"We only own the chapter house … the members were in their own apartments," Lee said. "They showed no signs of illegal activity."

Lee said out of the individuals arrested, only one is an active member.

"The others are either alumni that are no longer affiliated with this chapter or inactive, where they are also no longer affiliated with this chapter," Lee said.
Many fraternity presidents instructed chapter members to keep quiet during the ongoing media storm.

LXA recharted at State just a couple of years ago....so much for that re-start effort.

This is just....shocking.

LX's back in 1988, used to hang out at the LX house all the time when I was in SD in the Navy. Good guys, great memories. Now, all that remains are memories.

Idiots.

Someone else posted this could bring down the entire State Greek system. I would not be surprised.

So, I graduated from SDSU in 2004. Theta Chi was the fraternity that we hung out with the most during my four years there (my ex-boyfriend was a Theta Chi). I don't remember drugs ever being as prevalent as mentioned in all the articles, but I also personally tried to stay away from it. I have to say though that I am not entirely surprised (not about Theta Chi, but just the drug bust in general). Cocaine was easily accessible and used by fraternity and sorority members. There was one fraternity that I immediately thought of when I first saw the headline and they were indeed one of the fraternities suspended, so I guess not a lot has changed.

I hope the greek system can bounce back from this. I'd hate to see everything shut down.

And sadly, it looks LXA just won an award at the Greek Leadership Awards....

Okay so far, its just been fraternities implicated in all of this. However... I think we all know that if THIS many fraternities were selling drugs, at least some of their buyers were probably sorority sisters.

Do you think we'll see sororities implicated in this? If those fraternities are being placed on suspension and I'm sure that all the other fraternities are being scrutinized... its seems that the sororities will be looked at as well.

Honestly this seems like it could just continue and get worse and worse and turn into a huge clusterf***. Not that it isn't already...

Sadly, I think it will get worse as the media's investigation delves deeper into this issue. And some sorority members will get implicated because the accused will go for plea bargains when the lawyers become involved.

And unfortunately, State will force many folks off the campus... In fact some admins might be fired from their positions, depending on high up the food chain this things goes--i.e. how long did the school know about these issues before exacting any actions?

Why would this be hard to believe? It's not like the drugs, cash, and guns were openly displayed in all the rooms of their house and there are members who don't live in the house and don't spend all their time in the house so why would they know? PeppyGPhiB stated it better than me.

None of the news report have mentioned targeting anyone who purchased the drugs. Though it wouldn't be unreasonable that they kept a record. Actually the dealers probably kept a handy record complete with chapter letters.

I am cringing at this right now because I believe it's only a matter of time before names start coming out.

On that PDF file with the mugshots that fox6.com has, it says stuff like "Student #7: drug user"... so I'm guessing they did arrest some buyers? I don't know.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had a record with chapter letters, considering that text that was sent out! LOL.

If what I am hearing is true, its not looking good for the SDSU greek system (fraternities in particular) as this is not the only thing that will be affecting it in the near future...

Local NBC affiliate site: http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/1618...l?dl=mainclick

I can't find video of tonight's news cast but there were three things that stuck with me.

1) This was the anniversary of the Alpha Phi's death, which promted the investigation. Did they do that on purpose?

2) The guy that sent the text message regarding their sale prices, was a star student who was heavily featured on the State website as a "campus leader" and success story.

3) The news reporters have more restraint that I do. They interviewed a member of one of the six fraternities who said he had no idea about what was going on but confirmed that drugs are easily available around school. He goes on to tell about a time he was outside the house and a car pulled up and asked "Need some pot?" He replied "No dude, we don't need any pot." My brain immediately went to "Dude we got a whole garden of it and a couple keys of coke! :stoner laugh:" :smirk:

sdsuchelle · #89 05-07-2008, 02:25 AM

Rick, I'm so sorry. I can understand how frustrating and embarassing this all must feel to you and your brothers.

I didn't really personally know any Theta Chi's when I was active a few years ago but from what I heard my friends saying about them, they seemed well liked and respected. I guess things have changed recently and thats really sad.

However I hope nobody assumes that ALL the members of these fraternities were involved in drugs or knew about it because they probably weren't. It sucks because I bet a lot of people are going to lump all of the members/alumni together. You should never have to feel embarrassed to say you're in a GLO
