And I see nothing brotherly about trying to drag other chapters (and any non-Beta who reads these public disclosures) into this mess with one-sided and emotional arguments that are not even logical at face value.
I completely agree.

The more I see posted about this situation, the more that I feel like the membership review wasn't unmerited. If they were hosting a party that included underage drinking and the public display of drinking games, then you deserve whatever consequence(s) happen. I'm all for self-governance, but if/when you live so close to the AO, you should know better.

Alpha won some awards at Convention last year, with the most important being the Knox and Sisson Awards. These are the absolute highest honors that a chapter can receive throughout the course of a year. They are the supposed mark of chapter excellence. Are we to believe that in a period of about 6 months (4-5 of which were actual academic months) that this chapter has devolved to a point where the entirety of the membership needs to be reviewed? Something is rotten in Oxford.
I have do disagree slightly with that. You can make anything look great on paper, awards applications for example. But that doesn't mean your chapter won't have issues with brothers not representing our organization like they should. The problem with our current awards system is that they assume a chapter is doing well if they meet the awards requirements. There's more to being a good brother than earning a 2.8+ and performing community service.
