I don't know much about the situation, so here are the articles:

"An apparent incident during the Christopher Newport University’s chapter of Pi Lambda Phi party Friday night led a new member to be taken to Riverside Hospital due to alcohol poisoning early Saturday morning, according to officials."
It was an off-campus party, and brothers of the chapter were the ones who took him to the hospital and stayed with him there.

"In a phone interview, Ian Lowe, Director of Chapter Operations at Pi Lambda Phi International, confirmed that the CNU chapter has been placed on operational suspension by internationals."
As of yesterday, four members have been expelled, and all of the new members (except the one that got alcohol poisoning) were given alcohol violations by the school. This issue has sparked lots of problems at my school, including teachers saying that we should get rid of Greek life entirely. Today there is an unsanctioned protest planned:

Unfortunately the event is now a secret event on Facebook, and even though I was invited to it, I said I wasn't going and deleted it from my profile, so I can't view it either.
In general, would you say that there have been overreactions to a situation like this? 3 out of the 5 sororities told their members not to go to the protest today, and as far as I know, 2 out of the 7 fraternities were told the same thing.
