It says the Corp Board did this without the input of the National Organization. Is that typical? Wouldn't the National Org be aware of it? Couldn't this practice backfire if some guy got really upset and the National Org was clueless about it? Are there parameters?

If it's initiated by the headquarters then I don't see a problem. However, this seems like it wasn't initated by them but by a few alums who thought things were bad. That is a BAD precedent.

"Dave Westol, chief executive officer of Theta Chi fraternity, said that he was contacted by a member of the Corporation Board who was concerned about the fraternity and wanted to know how to conduct the review. Westol said he was supportive of the decision because it showed that the Board was taking responsibility for its house with the appropriate actions."

"There is an appeal process for those members not invited back to the house. All appeals are to be no more than two pages long, typed and turned in by June 19 to Gerstner [Ryan Gerstner, president of the Corporation Board]. It must also be accompanied by two letters of recommendation. Notifications of the Board’s decisions are expected to be sent out July 19."
