LSU Greek Life Director shenanigans...

They sure managed to keep this quiet. This is only coming out because the guy was quietly allowed to resign and he got the same job at another school. Someone sent them the LSU Police reports and their student paper is running with the story. LSU completely covered this up.
And this a-hole lied about it all the way through.

A former Greek Life director at LSU was found by campus police in 2019 to have created fake personas and social media accounts to frame fraternity members on university policy violations and drinking law charges, according to a resurfaced LSU police report.
LSU Police officials concluded that Donald Abels, who was serving as Greek Life director in 2019, manufactured fictitious personas for both an LSU student and parent to "entrap fraternities in inappropriate behavior with recruits."
With no criminal laws broken, LSU Police handled the incident through an internal investigation.
Abels left LSU in August 2021, two years after the investigation, and is currently the director of Greek Life at Sewanee: The University of the South, a liberal arts college in Tennessee.
And this a-hole lied about it all the way through.
quote:
Authorities contacted Abels on Aug. 28, 2019, and confronted him about possibly creating the fake recruit, but Abels denied involvement, according to the report.
Detectives subpoenaed Microsoft to find the IP address connected to Jenny Brooks’ email. The only device associated with the IP address for Jenny Brooks was associated with an iPhone named "Donald's iPhone" and tied to Donald Abels, according to the report. Abels denied any wrongdoing or involvement throughout the investigation and the rest of his time at LSU.

Can’t find real problems so they have to fabricate them. The BLM playbook.

Greek life administrators and mainline denomination HQ employees
Two professions where almost all of them are actively working to undermine and destroy the basis for their career/role
It's bizarre

He screwed royally this time and kicked one of the two largest sororities off campus at Sewanee. He will not survive that. Those women alums will boil him in oil.

When do they fire Marie? She dropped the ball on the Title IX investigations. She dropped the ball on Greek system investigations(some over reacting and others being non reactive ). She has this Greek Life Director going rogue, but doesn’t fire him. Meanwhile, she and her admissions czar are spending money to bring in kids from out of state who don’t stay here more than a year or two and leave huge loan debts. Then she waives the debt owed to LSU without authorization. BTW—she hates Louisiana and everyone from here and is more than happy to tell you about it after a couple of drinks.

Think what you will about fraternities but the blatant open attacks from college administrations mirrors the BS on campuses and society around the country regarding mostly white males

FWIW. It is a criminal law violation in LA to create a fake online persona to harm, intimidate, threaten, or defraud another person. I am not sure why this guy wasn't charged.
RS 14:73.10 — Online impersonation
Universal Citation: LA Rev Stat § 14:73.10
§73.10. Online impersonation
A.(1) It shall be unlawful for any person, with the intent to harm, intimidate, threaten, or defraud, to intentionally impersonate another actual person, without the consent of that person, in order to engage in any of the following:
(a) Open an electronic mail account, any other type of account, or a profile on a social networking website or other Internet website.
(b) Post or send one or more messages on or through a social networking website or other Internet website.
(2) It shall be unlawful for any person, with the intent to harm, intimidate, threaten, or defraud, to send an electronic mail, instant message, text message, or other form of electronic communication that references a name, domain address, phone number, or other item of identifying information belonging to another actual person without the consent of that person and with the intent to cause the recipient of the communication to believe that the other person authorized or transmitted the communication.

No wonder why we have fraternities getting houses off campus.

I know, for a fact, PIKE was censured several times during the period this guy was there because of a nephew that lived through it.
I would make an educated guess that Phi Kappa Psi falls into the probable category.
Not sure about any of the others.

He won’t last long. That place has one of the highest percentages of Greek life participation of any school in America. They already wanted him gone, now they have a reason. Hard to believe no one brought this up before now.

I would expect the greek life director to be more invovled in covering up drinking than trying to entrap it.
Weird.
Weird.

I suspect that this person had a serious personal issue with a fraternity at LSU - serious enough that he would go this far to manufacture harmful information.
Just goes to show that some people in university administration want greek organizations eliminated. You can guess as to why.

I wish someone would dig deep into how this was covered up and bring that out. Some more folks need to be fired.
Any of y'all catch the comment from the Detective at the end of the article?
quote:
In an interview with the The Sewanee Purple this month, Abels called the LSU police report false and said he left the university in good standing. The Sewanee Purple also contacted LSU Police detective John Meliet, lead investigator in the report.
“Everything I wrote in my report is accurate,” Meliet told The Purple.
That's a crystal clear "I was told to back off and I am not happy about it."

These people think the ends justify the means, and they are the righteous.
This guy needs to be dealt with so he doesn’t hold a similar position ever again.
And what is with Greek life employees, it’s like the people attracted to holding these jobs are problematic. Greek life staffers court controversy far too often.

I wouldn’t admit to being related to a Pike.
