The Sigma Chi chapter was placed on social probation until January 2008, meaning it is barred from holding parties and other social events.
The university said it also must recruit four adult advisers and incorporate diversity training into its new members program.

The consequence here doesn't seem that out of line based on the inablility of the group to use good judgment. I've not sure that diversity training ever really helps, but it doesn't hurt. The group seems to need some additional advisors.
The party and especially the invite just seem dumb, dumb, dumb. But finding them guilty of "harassment and intimidation" strikes me as a little extreme. Somebody explain it to me. Who was harassed and intimidated? People accidentally viewing the invitation on Facebook? Guest at the party? People who came to the partly uninvited?
It would seem to me that you'd have to have victim to be guilty of harassment and intimidation, or are they saying that the community at large was victimized?
