Honestly this sucks. the U of A chapter was one of our best chapters. To lose these type of chapters is not good, as other fraternities would solidify their positions, and when we recolonize we are going to have to build from the ground up. Hopefully national's especially Mitch Wilson fights this and they can get re-instated.

I honestly don't feel the least bit sorry for them. Right before our chapter closed down there, the KSig's were beyond rude to us. The president came over and apologized, claiming it was their "alums", but I personally found it an "excuse" for the behavior.

Now this was in 2003 mind you, but the behavior truly left a bad taste in my mouth for the chapter.

Mind you this is my perception as an alum.

This really sounds as if the administration at U of AZ is either going in an anti-greek direction or that some Fraternities have been abusing the system and become out of control. What I suspect is that U of AZ has been feed up with some of the antics and may have decided to make examples of past transgressors. This is just an educated guess though. I do find it strange that Kappa Sigma IHQ is appealing this sanction by U of AZ. They usually do not do so and are very serious about Risk Management issues. It would be good to hear from U of AZ actives about what is going on.
