In this case, the charter is already gone effective Sunday night, so all active members are now suspended. A panel of alumni will now be convened as a trial board to determine who should be expelled. In the meantime, as mentioned, the university has already expelled two students involved in the video. We can likely expect to hear more from both the national fraternity and the university as their respective investigations progress.
I can't even begin to express how livid the fraternity is nation-wide at the behavior of these manchildren. Their behavior is so diametrically opposed to what SAE represents as to make one wonder how those individuals were ever admitted to membership to begin with. To time this with our Founders Day was just an extra slap in the face.

I'd just like to say that this seems a superior method to the way in which my fraternity would handle a similar situation, and I both compliment Sigma Alpha Epsilon on the method that they use and *wish* that it wasn't necessary.
