Ole Miss Kappa Sigma Charter Revoked (Appeal Possible)

[Cube TX]

The chapter was probably in trouble more than once in the past. Once you're on probation it just takes one violation to get you tossed.

Maybe its just me, but I would never pledge a fraternity that didn't have alcohol at a rush event.

The one and only rule for guys rush at my school was NO ALCOHOL. The last day of their rush were bid day parties (aka 5:01s because the ban ended at 5:00 that friday) I thought that was kind of a standard, is this not the case?

Well, we don't have alcohol during "formal rush" which is usually a 3 day period right before people get pinned. However, nobody really bids during formal rush. Real rush begins in June, and alcohol is at everything, be it beach parties, parties in various cities around the south, band parties once school starts, etc. The only events that are dry are potentially dangerous ones (daytime activities on the lake, skeet shooting, etc).

^Yeah, formal rush pretty much means nothing. All of our huge rush events are during the summer, whether it be trips to New Orleans, huge barbecues, all day band parties, etc. In fact, the FIJIs down here are having their Island party this weekend, huge rush event.

Depends on the School and HQ rulings though doesnt it?

I mean, I guess it could depend on the school. But I haven't ever visited one where the forbade giving out bids during the summer. Hell, I had some friends get their pins right after hs graduation ceremony was over.
