Fraternity members indicted in student death

Either way, whether they are a registered Oganization or a psuedo group using Greek Letters, this throws a bad light on everyone no matter who it is.

People have blinders when it comes to Greeks. They have Greek Letters and screw up, than all Greeks must do the same no matter what.

Lambda Phi Epsilon = Theta Nu Xi?

Basically the same principle.

Actually no one has given much of any thought about the event around here until the indictment information was released.

I think the title of "number one party school" at UT created more backlash towards GLO's then this incident.

That is a fair point. I know for a fact the University administration is pretty upset at this dubious honor (and obviously they would be.)

The heavy crack-down in West Campus on any ordinance violations- even if not reported- earlier this year surely stemmed from that as well.

Yet another media-driven situation to inconvenience our lives.

Tallgreekalum- if you want names, let's take it to PM if we may. No big secrets or anything, but I figure if a GLO does not advertise itself and is leading a quiet existence, then it is not my place to broadcast it on the internet.

The article was published in September. I live in west campus - there are definitely still plenty of builds, bands, and black tarps.

"Michelle DeCrane, spokeswoman for the Austin Fire Department, said the new plan does not single out fraternities."
BULL!

i am typing with the widows keyboard so ignore any mistakes

i have attended two west campus neighborhood commitee meetings, which is composed of 95% business owners. nothing has been said on behalf of greeks. even when we try to bring up the subject they quickly change subect. hopefully with more greek involvement we can get more things repeled, such as the required permit for 49 people or more.

Its al bullshit.

So, that means bang the drum slowly?

They forget the amount of UT/Social Greek Money that comes into the school and businesses.

Now, if the rules are faily run for not only Greeks, but anyother social gatherings of a personel nature that would be fine.

There has to be some rules in place when some get out of hand, but with a little restraint, I am sure it can be worked out.

Now if I read right, West Campus is mostly Greeks, true?
