It appears that New Mexico is trying to prove a point or something.
I'm going to try to take snippets from an article posted in Fraternal News. Since this is an e-mail subscription, I can't provide a link, but the article is in the Albuquerque Tribune.
(Underlining is mine)
"
Three of the University of New Mexico's six fraternities have been
placed on emergency suspension in the span of a week..."Sigma Alpha Epsilon was suspended Aug. 14 after
UNM police arrested a
member on charges he had sex with several underage girls.
Phi Delta Theta was suspended on Aug. 17
after parents of a 16-year-old
girl told university officials they found her passed out drunk at the
fraternity house.
Kappa Sigma was suspended on Aug. 21 after an investigation into an
early morning fight
led UNM police to believe alcohol - which isn't
allowed in any fraternity, sorority or student housing - was involved."
The newspaper website seems to be a subscription only site.
Here is a link to The Daily Lobo, the university (assuming student) newspaper story:

It's a little difficult to tell, but my read on these suspensions is that the chapters may be being punished for the transgressions of one, or a fairly small number, of members.
If nothing else, it appears that chapters are being suspended on as yet unsubstantiated claims.
It's kind of interesting that one of the articles points out that the university president is a Greek alum, and says that fraternities have good things to add to the university.
I find this whole thing pretty confusing.
See what you think...
