Chi Phi at GA Tech lives on thru suspension
According to the latest letter from Chi Phi at GA Tech, the school suspended the chapter for two years last spring (02) for "hazing and alcohol violations" of school and IFC regulations.
The chapter, alumni, and natl. office (also in Atlanta) appealed the suspension unsuccessfully to the VP of student affairs, basing the appeal on
1 - punishment not fitting the crime,
2 - willingness to reform behavior.
The chapter, alumni, and natl. believe Tech has exceeded its authority and violated the members' constitutional rights, and the chapter is continuing to operate without campus or IFC recognition. The VP of SA is informed, and is treating the chapter like a group of students living in off-campus housing, although the VP of SA can almost see the Chi Phi house out his window. Chi Phi has the best/closest location to the heart of campus at Tech. Fall rush begins soon.
The alumni board has hired a lawyer, and is seeking a meeting with Tech's president.
The Hoosier salutes Chi Phi and their active efforts to assert that fraternities and fraternity members have rights.

If we don't defend our rights, we won't have them.
