Wow, Tom, I feel the same way about you, man.
Let's look at the facts:
* The members of the "caught" org were IN PUBLIC, after rush contact hours.
* The PNMs with alcohol were UNDERAGE IN PUBLIC.
* The person witnessing it was a NATIONAL HQ member of the other fraternity.
Now, I'm sorry, but no matter what orgs you're in, this could have happened. This isn't active members of an org having a beer at one of the guys' house. This is in public, at a hotel, with underage drinking. Sorry, but that's illegal whether you're greek or not.
If I was a guy from the *International org's HQ*, I'd be bound to report it, too. That's not a little thing to be swept under the rug.
As for being a crybaby, Tom, it sounds like that's the attitude you're taking right now. Face it, members of your org got caught doing something stupid, against rules. They were in public. They should have known better.
I tell my collegiate chapter that you can't discuss, or do, certain things in public. You shouldn't take your little out drinking in letters at a bar where your rival org drinks, for example-- you're begging to get caught that way. Not like it's legal anyway, but if you're going to break the rules, you should plan on following the consequences if you get caught, plain and simple.
As for setting one org against the other, that's dumb too. Could have been another fraternity, could have been a sorority, whatever. The guy from the other org's nationals probably could have been fired if he swept it under the rug-- he followed his conscience best he could. But he's one guy in one fraternity, and it makes little bearing on members of those fraternities in other schools.
