ATTN: Chapter officers - Liability premiums

[Tom Earp]

I love all of the studies that are put out by people who get Grants!

They nothing better to do except study the mating of a TSETSE fly or Why The Sun Comes up in the East and Goes Down In the West!

Hell I have read some of thse studies capsual form and wonder where this people got their questions and their subjects from!

Maybe they come from Jerry Springer!

Just because some Egg Head (?) who got a grant and was from Harvard does not mean He and his group of intervieweenies are infallable!

You can still find people who profess that the world is really flat!

Give me a grant and I will prove drinking , sex, and smoking is good for you!

There are more Dead people in the Cemetary that did not drink or smoke than do!

The following was taken from an article about the suspension of yet another San Diego area fraternity. This is something that I don't believe most people realize. In this era of huge legal actions and big rewards to "victims," this kind of liability can ruin your financial lives or that of your family -- as well as the GLO, the university and your advisors.

"Craig Melancon, executive director of Phi Kappa Theta's national
office in Indianapolis, said that because the fraternity had agreed
it would accept only 15 members with a certain GPA, the 18 pledges
who did not meet the criteria would not have been covered by the
fraternity's insurance."

"As 18-to 22-year-olds, you think you are bulletproof," Melancon
said. "You don't realize their parents' homeowners policies could
have been in jeopardy and that it could affect their parents' lives."
