Well, that was not last year, it was in 2016, and that chapter is dormant as far as I can tell. Drugs are an individual choice, and can happen in any chapter regardless of alumni involvement. If you think your chapter is immune, it is only a matter of time until you find out how wrong you are.

Okay, Kevin. If you want to split hairs.....
A GLO can have 8,745,194 outstanding chapters and it is always that one bad chapter that people remember.

I didn't say it was sanctioned. It's 6 members hanging out with their significant others and some randos. I mention this because that's the kind of event which despite the chapter adviser having no inkling this is happening, something happens, and suddenly the school calls it an event of the organization due to overbroad definitions of what an event is.

Then you need to have better communication with your undergrads. We stress that when you wear chapter letters / paraphernalia you are representing the org - we stress Sigma Image. We make the effort to teach that to our members - grad and undergrad. It is a very small world in NPHC orgs - somebody somewhere will know you or know of you. It won't take long for your business to get out. It is something like 3 degrees of separation. There is still a feeling of shame when you embarrass a NPHC org.

Agreed here. So what do you do with long-time alums who come back for whatever event and share with the actives all of the brutal stuff which used to happen and scorn the undergrads for being paper members? Just boot 'em and to hell with them?

Yes.
