From the risk management point of view, the chapter was nto in violation of our policies if they didnt provide the alcohol, it wasnt 3 times the chapter size, there was no hard alcohol and no mass containers, and it wasnt an open party with invitations. If it was just people hanging out at the house drinking, I dont know how the chapter could get in trouble.

Simple Life - they most likely will be in a lot of trouble, because, if nothing else more than this story made the news.

Bad PR (especially if this makes national media) = 99.9% chance of suspension/closure of chapter.

Sad, but true fact.

BeanBlossom, You are welcome anytime on LXA Thread.



As LXAAlum said, anytime there is noiteriaty of this nature, The Locals and IHQ will look very strongly at the situation.

As Jono also asked, why arent the Underaged people cited as they know they are and can get people in a lot of trouble.

I know, I know, age at that age is a balancing point from Kid to Adult.

But, anytime a GLO is involved, Hell Fire and Brimstone break loose.

Roy, please keep us update if you will.

New update on the chapter: On tonight's 11:00pm news, it was said that if the fraternity is found to have violated IHQ policies, UTC policies, or the local or state laws, they would be temporarily suspended from the university. The investigation is ongoing in regards to the Zeta.

I guarantee nothing went on that night at the LXA house that doesn't go on at the other houses on Oak and Vine Streets. Its a shame that LXA is taking the heat when this incident really didn't have anything to do with them.

I'm glad they are charging the 6 football players.

Keep me posted - hard pressed to get updates out here in Dallas.

On the AP wire it says that they were put on probation until the end of 2006, this is an extension of the probation due to "Noise Violations"

Fraternity gets extended probation over party linked to rape case

The Associated Press

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has extended the probation of a fraternity that hosted a party attended by an underage student who reported she got drunk there and later was raped by six football players.

The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity will be on probation until the end of 2006 for hosting a party at their off-campus house on Oct. 21 where alcohol was available for underage people, school officials said.

"They did not take reasonable measures to protect against underage people drinking alcohol," said Jim Hicks, UTC's associate dean of student life and student development.

The university also set a Jan. 12 disciplinary hearing for the players who have been charged, according to attorney Jerry Summers, who is representing football player Terrence Thomas, 20, from Lithonia, Ga.

A criminal court hearing in the case is set for Jan. 18, Summers said.

The other players charged with rape are Muhammad Ahmad Abdus-Salaam, 19, of Atlanta; Lironnie Davis, 19, of Macon, Ga.; DeJuan Payne, 21, of Stone Mountain, Ga.; Cori Stukes, 22, of Wilmington, N.C. and Larry White, 21, of College Park, Ga.

According to a police report, the girl said she was drinking at the Lambda Chi Alpha party and then was taken to Thomas' apartment, where the other players repeatedly sexually assaulted her.

The fraternity was already on probation for noise complaints, Hicks said.

Thanks Lennox, I was going to post this tonight. One item that was left out of your post is that also the chapter must draft a Risk Management Program for all GLOs at UTC.
