I couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you for your post, and I'll keep you updated on any more developments.

I just read in the Ohio University Post that the O.U. chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma has closed. The reason stated is that their National had to raise insurance rates (over $300 per member) and the chapter couldn't afford to stay in operation.

The reason for the rate increase? The National was sued by the parents of a Texas student who died of alcohol poisoning. The payment was $2 million dollars according to the Associated Press.

Will we ever learn moderation? Or will this happen again and again until all of our nationals can't afford insurance -- or go bankrupt?

I've said this before in many threads, but this is a much larger issue than many want to believe. The future of the entire Greek System is at risk.

But even more tragic is another death.

Think about it.
