Zeta Chi charter pulled

[zx810]

I am very opinionated on this matter and if anyone would like to discuss the matter in private I am more than willing to do so.

I have to agree as in this case that chapters don't just decide Hey let's Haze, it goes on for years and years. Someone finally just gets fed up with it and reports it, even then sometimes nothing is done about it.

Had a neighbor taped the footage of the hazing with a video camera, it would be all over the news, national and local as well as youtube and my space. The Zeta Chi chapter was shut down on their own accord from within. The pictures and other evidence that was given to the proper officials would have been all over the media, had not been held by someone within the organization.

The problem with the Zeta chi chapter as someone else mentions in their post is that they were the only fraternity on campus with their own house, a nice house as a matter of fact and they took it for granted. The chapter had way to big of a head on it's shoulders. There were numerous attempts for the chapter to be fixed within, but various members held the idea that the Zeta Chi chapter was a secret society that had no reason to abide by the national fraternity laws or state statutes established by the state of Texas.

These ideas weren't only in the heads of members within the chapter is where the problem arose, to an extent, some alumni can be too involved. In reality you need alumni there that push the chapter to the right thing, but when alumni drive the chapter to do the "immoral thing" is where the problem arises.

I will say this, the University of Houston had a hand in deciding the fate of the chapter, which is why they will not branch off and remain an "unrecognized fraternity". Sigma Nu made a report on the same charges More than 9 months ago and found the investigation to be inconclusive??

The Zeta Chi chapter turned boys into alcoholics and at the end left them boys, where as it should have been molding those boys that joined it to be the leaders of the future.

Whatever the chapter decides to do on the day next month they are to decide the fate of the house, I sure hope it's a wise one.

Personally I'm all for shutting everything down for a few years, let the bad seeds fail out of school and then recolonize with a superior chapter than what ever existed. Being a superior chapter doesn't mean having a better house. I define superior chapter is transforming people's lives and molding them into our countries future.

Anyone with any comments on my opinion I'd feel free to discuss the situation with you granted that you're a Sigma Nu Alum. as all information I hold is very well informed information.
