With all the stuff going on, I'm not sure if any nationals would want to colonize b/c of all the things going on recently.
I haven't been keeping up with what the school admin. is doing to the individuals involved in the hazing incidents, but they need to show the students they mean business ... maybe even if they have to make an example of someone. Does the school have some kind of code of conduct or something? When stuff like this happens (even though this particular incident doesn't really sound like hazing) not only does it make Greeks in general, and Greeks on the campus look bad, but it reflects poorly on the school as well. (at least in my opinion)

CSU-Chico has established some task forces and has hired a consultant, according to the local (not student) paper in an article about factual errors in another paper's story. Golly, what more could anyone ask? To be fair and realistic, of course, the university almost surely has to tread carefully and act only after getting sound legal -- and political -- advice,

. . . .Right now, perceptions are important to Chico State. The university is mandated to increase its enrollment by 212 percent next year as part of the California State University system's compact with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Zingg [the president of the university]
said the university has made all of its offers to potential students and is now waiting for responses. Tuesday's story won't help, he added.
"It comes at a terrible time," he said. "It will likely dissuade students and their parents from selecting Chico as their college of choice."
Officials don't deny that there are problems within the Greek system. While the author notes the community's disgust with the acts that led to Carrington's death, Zingg said an obvious omission is the response from the university.
Task forces have been formed and are beginning to meet; the university brought in a consultant who has a year-long contract for a week's stay. . . .
