Does "any excuse possible" include a pledge ending up in the emergency room?

If you're referring to Alabama, then yes of course nationals needs to look into that and then take any actions deemed necessary.

But I was talking about the situation at Auburn and the idea that nationals would try to force the BMP on the chapter after 1 member was involved in a parking lot fight, the details of which are unknown. If that was the case, it would be an example of nationals far over-stepping their boundaries.

What boundaries does an HQ really have though?

The prospect of reduced donations form alums of a particular chapter?

The prospect of not any chapters at all. Or rather, having a limited number thereof.

I would say that most HQ's have way more power than is due, or that they're really even worth for the chapter. They pretty much just exist to buy insurance.

This was a simple parking lot fight. I've seen a couple fights and I'm really confused - how did that guy end up in the ICU? Is that even possible, to put someone in the ICU just with your fists?

The fights I've seen leave the guys with broken and bloody knuckles, maybe a broken nose and a busted lip. Painful, but not ICU material.

Yes.

You can also put someone in the morgue with your fists.

True. That's why I think all such disputes should be decided by Breakdance Fighting.

If the guy falls down and hits his head on the concrete, he can either end up in icu or dead.

I'm with the breakdance fighting!

How much power is "due"?

You join a national organization and you expect your governance to be....?

So how is this kid doing? Is he going to be OK?

I've only read that his parents are suing Sig Ep and I think the boys in the fight. No other news on how he is doing
