Wash. State Pi Phi loses university recognition

It's really sad that the girls who were hazed and those who didn't have anything to do with the hazing have to be punished.

If they do stay on campus I'm sure they won't have a problem building the house up again. A few years ago we underwent membership review and a few girls got the boot. There was a lot of misinformation and it ended up being 8 girls who stayed to rebuild (fall 06). Now, with only 3 pledge classes we have over 100 members.

Best wishes and luck to them.

Of course, that could be wrong, but I'm assuming the Pi Phis who have stayed with the chapter know what's going on.

I remember when your chapter had issues (I will be honest it was pretty shocking to hear at the time), and it is impressive how hard you and your sisters have worked to turn things around from that unfortunate time.

It's not clear from this little news blip. Is this the response to a hazing allegation, or is it fact? Has Pi Phi admitted fault? And does anybody know if the specific individuals involved have been dealt with appropriately?

The Pi Phis I've known personally have had such high integrity that it's startling to hear this kind of thing. I know GLOs vary from campus to campus, and even from year to year within the same campus, but still this makes me very sad.
