Brief excerpts:
Scott Moore, dean of students, said the charter was revoked Thursday and the fraternity members living in the "Greek Row" home on the NMSU campus would be moved out.
The fraternity said it would appeal.
. . . Brandon Weghorst, an SAE spokesman for the national headquarters near Chicago, said he has encouraged local members to appeal.
. . . Weghorst said individuals should have been held accountable rather than sanctioning the entire chapter.
He did not know if any action would be taken against certain members. Weghorst said that would be determined following the national organization's own investigation. . . . . |
I was wondering when this was going to happen, a buddy of mine is SAE and just so happened to pledge their, he'd tell me stories about how their was basically no control over anything. Also I guess New Mexico has no state laws on hazing, is that correct if anyone knows?
