Chi O Chapter on Interim Suspension (UCF; Alleged Hazing); 3 Resign

[ChioLu]

Good. Not only should the 3 members who hazed the NMs resign their membership, but UCF should expel them.

I have a family member who is a recent alum of Chi O at UCF, and I can say wholeheartedly that they are one of (if not the single) best chapter at that school. UCF Greek Life is all sorts of horrible - many of my other family members are currently Greeks there, and the stuff they tell me has me livid. The entire Greek system was recently on suspension for their outrageous behavior. Chi O is a model chapter, and it really saddens me that they're going to take the fall for the errant actions of a few members. UCF is going to be tough on them too, given their national reputation right now for out-of-control Greeks. But I was very proud of Chi O and doing the right thing by self-reporting the incident to the school and their nationals and handling everything in a mature way. If they go (and I think they might), UCF will be losing their strongest sisterhood. In my experience, the rest of that school is full of the most stereotypically selfish, vapid, and substance-obsessed people I've ever seen wearing letters, and they give Greek life in general an awful name.

Perhaps you mean well, LovetheLyre, and mean to sound supportive of Chi Omega, but throwing shade on every other GLO at that school (which you don't attend) isn't very Panhellenic. Nor is it appreciated. And you don't know all the facts or details. None of us do.

I have confidence that Chi Omega can manage its own chapters and members, just as my own chapter can and does.

What gives Greek life a bad name?

Hazing.

Kudos to the chapter for self reporting.

The culture of UCF has changed completely. Not just the Greek system, but the entire school.

Wow, um... what? How did I miss this?

You should not be so quick to judge other orgs or campuses. You have no idea what really went on.

And slamming other orgs in order to build one up is not the way to go about things. Ever.
