Zeta Chi charter pulled

[ajuhdg]

Just found out my husband's chapter at U of H will be loosing thier chapter due to hazing. I bet the alumni are pissed after the massive house they just built!

[KyleMcGuire1983]

oh no that's terrible...

we seriously need to figure out a way to stop all these shutdowns....

(not that they're unwarranted)

I feel like every colonization we get going we wind up with three shut downs...

I'd like to see HQ put more money into recolonization and expansion.

They've been on probation for a while now, pending an investigation by the university. They have been quite open about hazing as of late and apparently a resident of a house behind them got them on video. Thank god that video didn't get out to the hype-happy media here in Houston and deal another blow to the already weak Greek system here. We've just now got the administration on good terms with us and things are starting to turn around.

My one of my friends from high school is a Sigma Nu at Texas State and when he came down to visit a few years back we went to their house. They were understandibly cold to me after I told them I was a Sig Ep but they weren't exactly thrilled my friend was there either. I cant honestly complain about the condition of there house considering we are at the Bayou Oaks travesty but it was pretty torn up for being only 7 years old.

I guess they thought they could get away with anything seeing as how they were the only fraternity with an actual house and a very active alumni base. Hopefully they will be able to keep their house for an eventual return in a couple of years. We need good fraternities on this campus and the closing this chapter by Sigma Nu and not the university truely makes yall much better off for a return.

The Sigma Nu house at U of H was once a local organization. Perhaps they'll just take up their original moniker?

I seem to recall LBJ being a member of that local organization before it joined Sigma Nu.

All of the original fraternities were local prior to 1956 but LBJ went to Texas State.

Alright.. I heard somewhere he was a member of a local which later joined SN. Thought it was U of H. Guess not.

All it takes is one or two semesters of pledging bad men to take down an entire chapter. Pledging idiots can take YEARS to clean up after. Bid liberally if you want but make sure that you use the "depledge" option as often as needed.

The best part of having an anti-hazing fraternity is that bad behavior is punished with depledgement instead of hazing....which doesn't actually curb bad behavior

That GC was good times.

No doubt about that. The Second City outing was fun. I'm going to GC in Austin and looking forward to the golf tournament and the Stubb's BBQ group outing dinner.

I'd be there, I hate that I'm missing it, but I have summer school finals during that week.

That totally sucks.

Sure does... I remember filling out a questionnaire following our GC in St. Louis. I went on a mini-tirade about the fact that 1/3 of the delegates are alumni, but short of hanging out in bars (which I don't object to in the least), there was almost zero programming. So they fixed that and now I can't go.
