As I posted on FS, one of my favorite combinations.
Condolences go out to the SAE family.
P.S. could this be taken out of Hazing, seeing as it was not a result of hazing?

It's in Risk Management, which is more than just hazing. Besides, they don't know how he died yet.

I believe I just stated how he died. OD of some type.....highly likely that it was coke.......have talked to quite a few people about it today....I know a ton of SAEs at SMU. Truly horrible, and I wish the best for their chapter and all that are involved.

Condolences to all involved.
This kind of thing is a shock to all involved -- even if the risks are known -- so my thoughts go out to not only the chapter, but to all of this young mans friends and the entire Greek Community there.
We had a similar situation at our Ohio State chapter a few years ago, but the drinking and drugs didn't happen in the house.
Subsequent information, though, caused an investigation which resulted in the closing of the chapter. It recolonized and was rechartered last year, I think.

It is amazing how some people feel that their Chapter is above their National/International and how they think and feel.
Bravado may seem the thing to do unless you have worked with them one on one, then you may have no idea of what is going on.
Have many gotten out of the little world, Chapter, or area they are in and worked with Members of other Greek Organizations?
A Greek Organization with out Leadership is a Ship with out a Captain.
If what some say that that IHQ's hold a blind eye to transgressions against policy have a lot to learn.

Ohio State was one of our larger and older chapters with some very influential alumni.
That didn't make any difference.
And it shouldn't.
It was due to its history and alumni support -- including a member of our Arch Chapter (board of directors) -- that allowed it to recolonize so quickly, though.
You're right, we don't know the whole story, but if this kind of behavior is a norm at the chapter, and it isn't closed, then SAE isn't as good of an organization as I think it is.
