Pike Appealing University's Decision (update May 2007)

The campus paper reports that Pi Kappa Alpha is appealing the university's decision:

Brief excerpts from article in the May 17 Alligator:

The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity will appeal UF's decision to suspend the fraternity's recognition as a campus organization for four years, said acting President Patrick Duffey.

The notice of appeal will be filed with Florida's First District Court of Appeals today, but the case may not be heard until early fall. . . .

During the appeals process, Pike members will not be allowed to live in the house . . . .

In no way am I comparing this to the Depauw DZ debacle, but I'm going to ask the same question here, too.

If a campus doesn't want you there, why even bother?

Oh wait, it's probably because a bunch of rich alumni (since they are footing the bill) are too proud to admit these boys screwed up, right?
