Fraternity members indicted in student death

[Tom Earp]

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?

West campus is where 98% of the Greek Houses are located, and is about 99% students, not all of whom are Greek, obviously, though a LOT of Greek students live in West Campus, in house or in apartments. Here's the greek house map:

And the laws aren't exactly 'fair' and do have the obvious aim of affecting Greeks more then anyone else - I remember a story about a meeting that was held to inform fraternities of the new regulations and the whole registering 'gatherings' with 50+ people thing. One guy apparently asked if he needed to register weekly chapter dinners to which he was told that "obviously those sorts of things don't count." rediculous.

[L.O.C.K.]

LPhiE isn't the only national Asian American Fraternity. They are one of two that is a part of the NIC, which reinforces them being National, but that's about it.

They have roughly 46 chapters across the country. At many schools, they are not recognized by the university which leads to real problems for organizations like mine that are recognized. (ie, they dirty rush and it hurts us bad b/c the university doesn't do anything)

LPhiE has had a bunch of deaths.

One kid died in a fight between two fraternities at SJSU in 2003.

Another died coming back from a fraternity event in a car crash.

Another was killed during a pledge event in 2005. He was trying to charter LPhiE at his university, but the death obviously ended hopes of the charter.
