That he may or may not be upset that his chapter got turned in for what may or may not have been a minor violation is really immaterial. The story here is that they were reported by another fraternity and the problem has been solved by the active chapter signing, the university and the house corporation [alumni] signing an agreement which seems to set milestones for reinstatement.
As far as I'm concerned, there's not a lot else to the story other than the snitching issue, which can be an interesting discussion.

"Snitching issue"?
Def:
1. intransitive verb
inform on somebody: to tell somebody in authority about another person's wrongdoing
IMVHO, this is a R/M issue along with an issue of what do Greeks, as both a chapter and a group, stand for. And how we behave and police our actions.
Both, as pointed out, would have a great deal impact on relationships
with school and community.
We have seen here, and I have seen personally, just how badly self-policing can go. Too many college kids think that self-policing is taking care of one incident at a time on their own and without any help. And forgetting about it when it happens again. And it is only when matters get really out of control, that the "authorities" step in. And then of course everyone gets bent out of shape on that.
And we have all seen just what happens when the media get hold of a Greek incident.
And just as there are no perfect cut and dry definitions of hazing, we could get into a long discussion on who tells what to whom at what point and when is it correct. And why and why. Which IMVHO would turn in a train wreak.
