That thread shows how an event that is not a chapter sponsored event can result in your fraternity being sued. It's happening to that chapter, right or wrong. Whether the fraternity ends up being held liable is yet to be seen, but in the meantime, they are going to have pay big bucks in legal fees and participate in a law suit that is dragging their name through the mud and harming their reputation. Doesn't sound like a situation I'd want my fraternity or sorority to be in (or myself for that matter).
I'm not harping on you, but what do you do then? This whole discussion is complete horse shit. Should we all just stay as far away from our friends and fraternity brothers as possible? I mean, what do you do?? Kick guys out of your home when there are too many SAE's there? Leave a bar because more than 3 or 4 of your brothers are in the same room? That is ridiculous.

Frankly, I think the family of the kid that died should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. As I said before, I think it is absolute bullshit that they would sue a fraternity when it is quite clear that he was doing something that had absolutely nothing to do with the chapter. It's almost like they chose to ignore the plain facts of the case when it was quite clear what happened. For them to honor their son's death by suing the organization, for money, that he probobly loved...is a joke.....and I would have no problem telling them that to their faces.
