Chi Phi at GA Tech lives on thru suspension

According to the latest letter from Chi Phi at GA Tech, the school suspended the chapter for two years last spring (02) for "hazing and alcohol violations" of school and IFC regulations.

The chapter, alumni, and natl. office (also in Atlanta) appealed the suspension unsuccessfully to the VP of student affairs, basing the appeal on

1 - punishment not fitting the crime,
2 - willingness to reform behavior.

The chapter, alumni, and natl. believe Tech has exceeded its authority and violated the members' constitutional rights, and the chapter is continuing to operate without campus or IFC recognition. The VP of SA is informed, and is treating the chapter like a group of students living in off-campus housing, although the VP of SA can almost see the Chi Phi house out his window. Chi Phi has the best/closest location to the heart of campus at Tech. Fall rush begins soon.

The alumni board has hired a lawyer, and is seeking a meeting with Tech's president.

The Hoosier salutes Chi Phi and their active efforts to assert that fraternities and fraternity members have rights.

If you want to support them, sent an email to alumni pres Jonathan Sterling at jsterldog@aol.com

If we don't defend our rights, we won't have them.

Unfair to say the least, and trust me, our chapter has been there. IFC plays favorites, and frankly, every TKE chapter i have visited has been treated unfairly. You know how it goes, "Victory out of Defeat". They can't help it, TKE just does it right, and our strength unnerves a lot of other fraternities, soroirties and IFC.

Delta-Theta was supposed to suspended from CSULB until 2010. A huge thanks Nationals for not pulling out charter, they knew we could and are bouncing back.

Since 2003 we have been a force to be reckoned with, and we are still a strong chapter. Full house, plenty of members and a strong sense of pride in who and what what we are. TKE's. Our house may not be as good asthetically (or as large), but we still got spirit.

We're back before the suspension date, rush is starting soon, and we're comin' back HARD. Victory out of defeat bro's!

Best of luck with your unjustice. Hopefully your's will be a clean easy job. You got my support.

TKE IT UP
