Althoough the stabbing incident is reportedly "between the individuals involved and not a feud between the fraternities," this may be yet another example of the kinds of events that risk management officers and committes have to deal with: ejecting unwanted or belligerent visitors, dealing with fights that escalate, etc.

A University of Maine student was stabbed three times early Saturday morning and was taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center, where he is in stable condition, according to Dean of Students Robert Dana. A suspect, also a UMaine student, has been taken into custody.
Christopher Girouard, 20, of Sebago, was arrested and charged with elevated aggravated assault around 4:45 a.m. and taken to Penobscot County Jail . . . .
The incident started when two visitors to the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house were forcibly removed after a fight broke out . . . . The scuffle continued outside when the student attempted to intervene and was stabbed three times in the back shortly after 2 a.m. Girouard fled the scene and was tracked by dogs. . . .
Girouard is a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, according to UMaine’s Greek Life Database. Calls to the fraternity house were not answered Saturday afternoon.

Excerpt from the Bangor Daily News article:
University of Maine Dean of Students Robert Dana said Girouard has been suspended and will not be allowed back on campus. Leadership from both fraternities will be questioned about the incident, Dana said, adding that the fight appears to have been strictly between the individuals involved and not a feud between the fraternities.
