As I said, any organization with Greek letters raise a Big Red Flag. But, when a well known GLO Organization pulls some stunt or someone dies, then while it has a lot of validity, it kills all of us.
It is like measure twice, cut once. Think before you leap per sey!

If you're talking about Alfred University in New York State that was an NIC Fraternity, one that does not allow pledging or hazing of any sort (and the members did it anyway). I don't know how much more I can spell it out without actually naming them (I have several friends in the chapter on my campus, in fact, I'm dating one of them)- as far as I know there's only one fraternity that mandates that members are initiated 72 hours after recieving a bid.
Regardless... I understand how local incidents affect the whole fraternity. When my mom was in college, a chapter of this fraternity started a race riot on her campus. When I was a senior in high school, the Alfred U death occured, in relation to a chapter of this fraternity. There is a chapter of this fraternity on my campus, and my parents almost didn't let me come to Gannon because of it (they did their homework as far as greek life was concerned). When I joined the greek system, they worried about me, because there was a chapter of this fraternity on my campus. When I started dating one of them, he had a lot of work to make up as far as my parents were concerned, because they had a misconception that every member of that fraternity was a racist hazer.
Not true. I think they're the nicest guys on campus.
