Uhhhh...welcome to GC, tuco99.

As for the larger topic, tuco99 is asking whether the current members will suffer due to the mistakes of the past. Current chapter members usually suffer if NHQ and the school punish the chapter (chapter suspension, removing charter, prohibiting intake, prohibiting social events, etc.) and not only individual members.

As for what Kevin said, the "I was just a pledge" response has been used for generations when chapters get caught. The pledges at most chapters do not challenge the actives and do not report issues. There are, however, a few chapters notorious for pledges who keep the actives in check. I think this was more common for certain chapters in the 1970s-1980s (the former pledges (most of whom are now members of the GLO) still boast about it). I know of some "put the actives in their place" pledges in the 1990s but being a "put the actives in their place" pledge in the 1990s-2010s is more likely to result in some repercussions including but not limited to never becoming a member.
