I really don’t know where to begin. Your fraternal spirit is “under”whelming and it is glaring. I think that it is extremely sad and in poor taste to perpetuate such nonsense. By your own admission, this false rumor could hurt AOII’s chances in reestablishing Alpha Pi. We should be doing all we can to strengthen the system and not tear it down. Does it really make your chapter feel THAT important to run someone’s name and reputation into the ground? It shouldn’t matter if they are on your campus or not. If it does, it is more telling of your nature then anything else.

But about the AOPi witchcraft rumor…
While I have no idea if the rumor has even the slightest bit of credibility, I‘m pretty sure my chapter is responsible for it still being circulated 20+ years later. Sig Ep bought the AOPi house in 1980, and the witchcraft rumor has become part of the chapter’s folklore, passed from semester to semester, pledge class to pledge class. Stories like that tend to get a mind of their own over time, so I can only assume there is little basis in fact, but even the most outlandish tales are often wrapped around a kernel of truth. Whether or not they were kicked off campus for witchcraft I’m very interested in where that rumor originated. If anyone knows anything else about the FSU AOPi chapter I’d love to hear it.
As far as them coming back to FSU, if you don’t think a rumor like that would be held against them you’re fooling yourself. How long would it take before that chapter got pegged as “witches,” regardless of the validity of the claims?
