Kicked Out of My Fraternity. Did They do Something Wrong?

[MariettaPhiMA]

I talked to our faculty advisor today. The chapter tried to dismiss me without informing him. He postponed the decision so he could defend me.

The vote to dismiss me was unanimous. They said they felt unsafe around me, that I was a danger to them and that I had sent them messages on Facebook that scared them. The advisor blocked them from going to campus police to file a report about me like they wanted to. However, they'll probably do it anyway.

The reason they gave was these Facebook messages. A couple of weeks ago while I was at work I started getting texts from people asking why I sent weird messages. Turns out my account had been phished. They sent messages to everyone on my friends list from A-G. Some of them had no content and others had links. I don't know what the links were. When I checked my sent messages my computer would not open the links because it said it would harm the computer.

This isn't uncommon. I've got a few weird messages like that. Phishing isn't an uncommon thing. I sent an email to every single person who was sent a message. I said that the account had been phished, I changed the password, and it shouldn't happen again. I can't do any more than apologize.

But seriously, I don't think that they are that big of drama queens. They're just using it as a cover for their real reasons. Contacting the police and saying they don't feel safe makes it look like they are the victims.

I have a clear conscious and the advisor believes me. Hung out with some alums this weekend that simply don't care. And as you all pointed out I still have my other brothers.

For goodness sakes. Just walk away! Can't you tell from what they (your Fraternity) are doing that they do not want you around. You bring too much baggage. Again, I repeat, walk away. Oh yeah, and be civil when you see the brothers around campus.

Maybe the phish caused the food poisoning outbreak.

Seriously, this is like a sequined pantyhose story in reverse.

Yes, I can tell that. Why would you say that I don't? I've said many times that I don't want to be a part of it. I posted here to get opinions from other greeks. And how do I bring too much baggage? The problems I have were caused by the fraternity, not brought into it.

Why would I not be civil? Or the better question is why would I be? I will speak to my big, the alums, and those who didn't delete me. They are still my brothers.
