People should keep an open mind about things.....people make mistakes and they change and they can do it in a short amount of time if needed.
I think an IFC officer should keep more of an open mind in a situation regarding this matter and not place judgement or perception on things of the past.
That's just my take on it all...we should be supporting all greek orgs in their faults and in their triumphs.

i see your point, and the reason why they lost their charter was due to the fact that 2 years earlier they got in touble for the same thing, and were given a second chance. i would not have a problem with kappa sig coming back and restarting with new men, but its a few of the old guys who are still around that will be runing the colony that could make the same issues resurface. besides, they lost their charter in the spring of 2002. they were still around campus and living in their house thought the semester. so they really have only had a summer and the fall semester to "regroup" if you will...
my chapter got into trouble last spring, and imediately we turned our focuse into positive: we completed 1000 hours of community service in one semester, raised money to pay off past debts from our alumni, attended leadership conferences, hosted risk management presentations, and went dry. we are currently finishing our period of probation, and on our last day of IFC probation (2-28-2003) the alpha phi sorority starts. we are not allowed to participate in the first day of a philanthropy to raise money for a local ymca because of our sanctions..... it is things like this that make me think that a fraternity that made the same mistakes twice should not be allowed back on campus with some of the same members.
