Yes, after the hearing, the chapter was found guilty on a total of seven charges; however, they pleaded guilty on six of those charges. I believe that they pleaded guilty so that the penalties were lessened. This did not happen and the Greek Judicial Board gave them the harshest penalties ever handed down. This, coupled with what the fraternity believes was an improper investigation and penalties not permitted by the Board's by-laws are what led to the appeal.
Only UNC's Honor Court has the ability to take away a charter, as does Nationals. Currently our campus' judicial system separates the Greek Judicial Board & Honor Court, with each entity has its own by-laws. The big problem is that Honor Court can overrule GJB which can lead to double jeopardy.
