By Phi Kappa Phi I think you meant Pi Kappa Phi, and Adrian Heidemans death was due to alcohol not hazing. I have friends who were in his pledge class.

Alcohol violations are often due to underage drinking. In many sororities, providing alcohol to underage members is construed as hazing. Also, it doesn't matter. RISK MANAGEMENT is as risk management does. These are all still behaviors that endanger Chico students and make other Greeks, whether local, national, NPC, NIC, NPHC, multicultural, etc... look the same. When one of us screws up, WE ALL LOSE.

And this is considered "okay and accepatable behavior? Later on in your post you ask what we would do in your shoes-- stop binge drinking and educate the student population on binge drinking. Increase risk management practices and take the damn drink out of Tommy's hand after his Nth shot of jaeger!

It doesn't matter. Chi Tau is a Greek Lettered club. This makes it look Greek. The vast majority of the US are not GLO members and they don't care if this was a national, a local or an underground renegade society. "IT'S ALL GREEK" to them.

Take accountability. Stop binge drinking. Respect one another and know that your membership in your GLO isn't one founded on beating one another with paddles and sisterhood isn't formed by drinking one another under the table. Institute a series of interactive co-sponsored membership education trainings where you teach one another about hazing, alcohol, drugs and the consequences, and where you have an open and honest dialogue about what is happening at your university and what you as GREEKS (local, national and underground or aboveground!) can do to stop it.

If I were any of those people, I would set forth a series of ultimatums, make the campus dry and set a zero-tolerance policy for hazing and alcohol abuse-- you're caught and you're expelled. Period.
And although it's not my place as an ADPi to say this and even though I adore the Chico ADPi's I have met, if I had the power, I'd pull ADPi out of Chico. I don't want my letters represented at a school where the students treat each other this way, and I don't want my sisters exposed to this kind of behavior. I'd want to protect my sisters.
