Ethical Question

[Leslie Anne]

I'd say nip it in the bud. It would be unethical if you were just trying to mess things up for them to be cruel. But they're putting your own chapter and others at risk. I wouldn't let them tarnish the better image you're presenting to the admin. Besides, if they haze they don't deserve to be around. I have zero sympathy for them.

I wouldn't do something sneaky or deceptive to make them fail at their recolonization effort, but I would, as a community, watch them very carefully and be sure to report violations. You haven't said that they've actually done anything wrong yet, from what I could tell, you are just unsure about the men they've chosen. Perhaps they will have strong guidance from their national group and rules will be enforced and you will have nothing to worry about. Aren't most colonies pretty well supervised or is that just a sorority thing?

What she said.

If you've got reservations about this group, tell someone about it now. Tell the other guys on IFC that you're worried. Maybe the staff guy over IFC, the alums of the group that's recolonizing, or whoever else is helping this colony come back on, too.

Maybe you'll get a huge sigh of relief. Maybe you won't. Maybe you'll find that other folks have the same worries about it than you. Thing is, don't wait until it's too late and it turns into a mess.

I wouldn't normally advocate messing in other glo's business - but in this case I think sharing your concerns with the headquarters of the colony would be a good thing to do. There's no way they want to start out a colony that may turn out to be a HUGE liability. Don't attack - just state that you have some concerns that you wanted to shared because you want the new chapter to be an asset to the greek community. If you don't know things as fact, just tell them that you have heard some disquieting rumors which you hope are not true, but you wanted hq to have a chance to address them.

eta - My advice holds only for actions that have occurred since they have formed a colony. I don't think you can say "Joe Blow had low grades two years ago!" and have any authority.

I disagree, leave them alone and mind your own business.

If they are the way they are, they will prove themselves soon enough.

Guess what, they will not last long and you have your dignaty.

Tom;
As we have "seen" here all too often, and what maybe to case at this campus, one bad eggs can damage if not wreak the whole container.

I do agree with several of the other posters that if one were to do this, make sure that the report is based on real, factual, current data rather than IMHO, POV, rumors et al.

As you said, if and only if factual info is involved, but how long do we/they think is will come out to soon.

There should be no one turning against another when they will shoot themselves in the foot.

Could it make all GLOs look bad, of course it could, but it could also show that GLOs will not stand by and see this happen, but not by snitching which would would look bad for them. This too would show a bad light also.

Snitching?
No; perhaps in this case it is showing that GLO's can do the right thing.
Be adult, see the larger picture and step up to the plate.
