Eventually there are enough dumb attacks to put an entire Greek system in jeopardy. It is much easier from the University's standpoint to eliminate a cancer than treat it.
Chico State University President Paul Zingg gave a blunt warning to a majority of Chico's Greek system Sunday evening on the Chico State campus.
Calling the hazing death of Chico State student Matthew Carrington the "last straw," Zingg put the organizations on notice.
"The university has no intention of waiting around for another death," he told about 850 fraternity and sorority members in a packed Bell Memorial Union auditorium.
Though he didn't outline exactly what the university was willing to do to stop future incidents, he did say the entire Greek system is under review.
Policies and procedures, and essentially every other aspect of the organizations, will be scrutinized before the end of the semester. That's because, fair or not, incidents of hazing are primarily within the Greek community, he said.
