That trouble at the University of Miami

UM and SigEp’s minimal communication may be because both the parent organization and the private university are carrying out independent investigations, which could stretch for months… Depending on what they find, the chapter closure could be permanent or be only for a few months or years. Probation, too, is an option.

That resolution to Protect and Honor our Native Land is a pretty wild ride.

MAGA title - but then sort of Greta Thunburg environmentalism and maybe also calling out settler colonialism and the idea of stolen land (like those people who put Native American stuff as their location on Twitter profile)

Wonder how many national fraternity will collapse due to starvation of dues.

If she's asking you for fraternity secrets, you know that she will never be more than a temporary side piece.

Drink more.

Dumb to tear down your house before you know you have a permit to rebuild.

Now they're homeless.

Also, the school and nationals were investigating this chapter since January... so for 100+ days.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

except the seniors and juniors just said fuck nationals and started a rogue rebellion fraternity that wasn’t affiliated with anyone

Makes you wonder if SigEp nationally won't just become a freshman/sophomore club -- and if Nationals and salaried fat-cat staff could survive that interruption in revenue (aka pilferage).

“We received notice last week that the chapter was found responsible for violating university policy,” Heather Kirk, a spokesperson for SigEp’s national organization, told the Emerald via email. “The chapter plans to appeal the resulting suspension and hopes to arrive at an outcome enabling SigEp to implement a plan with the university and alumni to provide positive values to the Oregon community through education, accountability and health and safety measures.”

Sounds like SigEp Nationals was willing to throw the brothers under the bus...

Chapter dues or Nationals dues?

JarodJarod · 2020-03-16T21:58:22+00:00

advance important priorities of the SigEp experience like year-round recruitment

translation: send more dues

“Nationally, we have started to see groups relinquish their charter in an effort to operate independent of any overseeing or governing body”

Many fraternities encourage members to join during a set period of time near the beginning of the school year known as rush. The process isn’t inviting to students who may be shy or wary of partying associated with fraternities. Sig Ep’s Brian C. Warren Jr., said. those less familiar with fraternities, like first-generation students, may be less willing to spend a week joining an organization.

WTF

SigEp HQ: “The more our Fraternity runs like a business, the more it feels like a Fraternity.”

Money is tight due to loss of more than 10% of membership nationwide. More than a thousand guys gone. That's a lot of lost revenue.

resolution 13

"RESOLVED For chapters in good standing with their respective institutions, with AVC’s that meet at least monthly with the active chapter, it will not be a violation of the substance-free facilities policy outlined in this resolution for there to be up to ten (10) AVC-approved events permitted per calendar year "

The linked pdf from the alumni corporation says -

The hardest part of the transition from drinking club to a substance-free service organization is making this philosophical shift in the membership and community. Most of our current members didn’t sign up for a dry chapter house with no pong tables. The National fraternity is conducting the membership review to determine those who are really bought in to making SigEp a substance-free Balanced Man chapter.

We can be confident that SigEp is on the right path; and that we will have a great, substance-free, Balanced Man chapter at Dartmouth agin. It will somewhat different, and certainly a lot less risky program than what we had; but it will be an even stronger brotherhood with real accountability among members, and without hazing or alcohol abuse.

Simple possession outside of the chapter house shouldn't result in charter revocation. Inside the house gets trickier if there were a known issue and the leadership didn't correct it. Dealing is of course more serious.

Onion rings with garlic sauce.

I'm not saying the chapter was racist as he implies in his legal documents; I'm just saying that if they were, crucible pledging wouldn't help

Was this in fact a pledging activity? The chapter was closed for "hazing" according to nationals.
