N2,
You gave references to strong alumni involvemnt for the preservation of values in your fraternity. Since I was going to reply to your post in risk management, I'm just going to add it in my post here. You mention how your fraternity maintains strick guidelines preventing this type of thing from happening. Good for you, but 90% of the chapters out there can't achieve this. Hazing is a vicious circle that perpetuates itself and becomes progressively worst.
Anyways, enough about that. I think everyone here is being way too sympathetic toward this chapter of Sigma Nu. I personally don't care or want to know what a fraternity does behind closed doors, but what they do in public I have absolutely no tolerance for. Anyone that causes negative publicity should suffer the consequences. The media loves this type of bullshit, it hurts us a lot more than you know. Trust me, i'm on a campus with 1% greeks, these types of actions stay around for a long time and are very hard to dissolve.
Yeah there are other chapters that get any with a lot worse than this, but these guys were on downward spiral. The few bad apples would most likely be the newer members, which in turn would attract more like them.
