Our SDSU chapter, Zeta Pi Zeta....

Time will tell!

Giving power to the man, I pass along a couple of updates I've seen online. First, here's this.

Remember how originally, six fraternities were on interim suspension for all this negative activity? Well, today, three of those fraternities (not including Lambda Chi Alpha) have been taken off suspension. The reasons listed were because the actions were conducted by inactive members or those living outside the chapter houses. If I'm understanding this report correctly, and I won't say with certainty that I am, Lambda Chi Alpha has thur far been kept on the "interim suspension" list, because involved members must have been active in-housers. No more specifics provided.

Secondly, there's this: the NIC (North-American Interfraternity Council)'s position statement of the going-ons out west. I commend THEM for taking the position of ensuring the best fraternal experience of all Greek members, by reminding us all of the detracting relationship this kind of activity has on our core values.

As far as I'm concerned it's too early to commend anyone for anything. After the big headlines were splashed all over TV, the newspapers, and the Internet, we still don't know who supposedly was in possession of what. Funny how they're so closed-mouthed now on the specifics.

Out of 96 people arrested, only 75 were students. According to reports, 4.5 lbs of cocaine and 50lbs of marijuana were confiscated. But with 21 non-students arrested on the same night we don't know how much was even on campus. Why all of a sudden is this a big secret?

Time will tell? Too late - the headlines already told. Mission accomplished.

The latest update.

Reported that the LXA Chapter has been suspended and can return in 4 years.

To sad, but the price has to be paid by all, not just the ones involved.

Here's a condensed version of what I read today:

"Two fraternities, Lambda Chi Alpha and Delta Sigma Phi, were expelled yesterday for alcohol and hazing violations, respectively. Meanwhile, Phi Kappa Psi and Theta Chi are on interim suspension after the drug investigation. Lambda Chi Alpha was expelled for violating the terms of its interim suspension by having alcohol at a social function when a fraternity member living in an apartment on Fraternity Row had an unauthorized party."

I am saddened even more if a private apartment lived in by a member was the major reason, I find this a bit over the top for suppension and for four years to boot.

There is less and lesss tolerence any more. When will be quit being social organizarions?
