Subject: It had to happen!
There will be a meeting tonight at TKE at 6:30pm for those who wish to voice their concerns, and Dean Kenney will be attending. I'll post more after that meeting.Re: Immediate Suspension of Alcohol at All Chapter Events
The significant increase in the number of non-compliant Greek sponsored events as well as concern raised by a number of reported hazing incidents in chapters throughout the Greek community obligate the University to take action.
Effective immediately and until further notice, there shall be a moratorium on all fraternity and sorority events with alcohol, both at chapter and university houses and at off-campus events.
Be advised that chapters that violate this moratorium shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including the revocation of chapter recognition by the University.
This moratorium applies to all chapter events, including those taking place at locations outside Greek chapter houses and off-campus.
The moratorium will remain in effect until such time as the level of compliance and progress within the community justifies ending it.
This means that Invitationals, private consumption of Brothers over 21 in the house, and alumni tailgating before Football games are all to be non-alcoholic from now on until a new moratorium is submitted. I can say that the Greek Community is less than happy about this speedy policy push, without any prior consultation and input from Greek Leadership.
