100 Students Arrested - which fraternity is involved?

I hate the DEA

None of the news report have mentioned targeting anyone who purchased the drugs. Though it wouldn't be unreasonable that they kept a record. Actually the dealers probably kept a handy record complete with chapter letters.

On that PDF file with the mugshots that fox6.com has, it says stuff like "Student #7: drug user"... so I'm guessing they did arrest some buyers? I don't know.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had a record with chapter letters, considering that text that was sent out! LOL.

Do you guys think this could potentially shut down the entire greek system at SDSU? Or am I getting really out-there with my fears?

I mean we have enough problems with being pegged as a party school.. this just makes it even worse.

To be blatantly honest I think all of the shenanigans would be a whole lot worst if there wasn't a greek system. The system keeps it contained to some degree.

There will certainly be calls to shut down the system.

It could happen, I suppose.

I wonder how much effect this will have on other campuses across the country, and whether there will be other sweeping investigations elsewhere -- and dread what some might find.

From what I have seen posted on GC, seem as if TPTB are starting to not only look at RM issues harder but acting on them as well.

I agree with your thoughts DA, more is coming down the road.

I do not think shutting down the Greek system will happen. From what I read in a previous response, SDSU have a lot of Alumni supporters that are greek. The worst that could happen is that the six fraternities involved would be either placed on probation or suspension depending on the internal investigation by both the university and their IHQ. However, this situation can cause many School Adminsrtators to carefully look at their Greek System under a microscope.

One other thing to remember is that there are a lot of Alumni Association and Athletic Foundation supporters who also run and support their chapter's Alumni Associations who lobby strongly for them. If they make the "few bad apples" case, and fully support efforts for rooting it out - then I think the Greek System at SDSU will be the stronger for it.

Good question. I guess my answer is "I hope not".

I may have missed something. Has there been any comment that the groups were acting together as an organized conspiracy or were they their own "businesses" with similar product?

I recall one of the articles saying the connection's been made with some over-the-border "cartels" who were the initial major suppliers, and then some of the selling was done in "resale quantities" to other students, making another level of suppliers and pushers on campus.

If what I am hearing is true, its not looking good for the SDSU greek system (fraternities in particular) as this is not the only thing that will be affecting it in the near future...

You can't say something cryptic and then not tell us! That is unfair. At least give a hint.

Hahaha. Or not. People will freak out.

Anyway. I remember when I first joined a sorority and my big sis told me about how at a meeting with some other sororities' sisters, this girl was talking about how she and several of her sisters would go into the bathroom before meeting to do coke.

:-/

It totally freaked out my little 18-year-old mind. Obviously I don't know if its true, but jeez, after this...

I can't find video of tonight's news cast but there were three things that stuck with me.

1) This was the anniversary of the Alpha Phi's death, which promted the investigation. Did they do that on purpose?

2) The guy that sent the text message regarding their sale prices, was a star student who was heavily featured on the State website as a "campus leader" and success story.

3) The news reporters have more restraint that I do. They interviewed a member of one of the six fraternities who said he had no idea about what was going on but confirmed that drugs are easily available around school. He goes on to tell about a time he was outside the house and a car pulled up and asked "Need some pot?" He replied "No dude, we don't need any pot." My brain immediately went to "Dude we got a whole garden of it and a couple keys of coke! :stoner laugh:" :smirk:
