SAE kicked off at Tennessee

[Ryan400z]

SAE, was informed on Monday night that they were going to have their charter pulled and would have to vacate their fraternity house by the end of the week. There chapter ran into many problems this year with the police. Many people associated with the Greek scene saw this coming. I am not at liberty to say what happened, even though I work at the police station and heard rumblings about their numerous problems. I am sure this information will be posted later in the week.
I am in another fraternity at Tennessee and all I have to say is this is a major blow to the greek scene at UT. The SAE chapter at UT was considered one of the best in the school for a very long time until the past 15 years or so. They were the first chapter to go over 1000 members, had close to 200 members at one point, and were considered one of the top chapters out of any fraternity in the country up until the late 80's. I was very close to going SAE, have a bunch of friends that were SAE's and my dad was an SAE, so it sucks to see their brothers in the dumps right now. Also, KA was kicked off my fresh year at UT and with both of these fraternity's gone, greek life will not be as dominant as it once was. Rumor is KA, will be back in 2 years, which is good news.
These guys were fun, well rounded fraternity, and it really seemed like the universities administration was targeting them. They held the annual SAE boxing tournament, where they raised over $60,000 dollars a year for the Ronald McDonald House, this was one of the top three greek philanthropy's in the country and people from all over came to this event.
Overall, they made some mistakes and it will be a bigtime blow not having them at the University of Tennessee.
