The national Phi Delta Theta organization has removed the charter from the Beta Chapter at LSU.

...

According to the organization's statement, the investigation uncovered enough information to conclude that some chapter members were in violation of risk management policies including the alcohol-free housing policy.


This means there is no shot of them returning to campus. LSU wouldn't have allowed it anyway, we all know they were getting the boot, but it appears their national headquarters won't even let the decision get to LSU's hands.

Were they any good at LSU? They're pretty bad in most places I've seen.

Either way, you need the bad fraternities to work as a filter for the good ones.

Wow. What a legacy for these guys.
What a shame. Bunch of morons killed a guy.
There should be criminal consequences.

This was pretty much a given IMHO.

With a death involved and it being fairly clear the chapter was violating nationals' official rules on booze, they would always voluntarily pull the charter in order to recolonize in 5-10 years as opposed to having the charter revoked by the school which would present a problem to coming back at some point.


It Nationals was going to back a chapter being screwed with by a school it wasn't going to be a bunch of chuckleheads who just had a pledge drink themselves to death.

Will this group of rent-a-friends continue to call themselves brothers?

This was just a matter of time. An alcohol related death in an on campus fraternity house guarantees it essentially

Sorry, I haven't been following the case.
But, just quickly, did his death involve something more than the typical shenanigans involving frats and alcohol as seen on every campus, every weekend?

I know of a pretty solid group of guys from Chs br that are Phi Delts. Man I hope they weren't involved..You wouldn't think they'd be the type to take things too far.

So an entire organization has to suffer because one kid can't control his alcohol?

Was this really an incident of hazing or was this just an accident?

Is that accurate? Seems like rarely is a chapter given a true death sentence no matter what, for example SAE and some others. No doubt best case scenario for them would be 4-5 year ban with many restrictions upon recolonizing or whatever.

I don't understand frats. Let me pay a bunch of money on top of tuition to be part of a group that requires me to almost die of alcohol poisoning in order to join. Sure brotherhood and connections and all but still never even contemplated it.

Looks like SOMEBODY forgot there's a rule against alcohol in houses on probation.
