Alpha Phi and Pi Beta Phi on probation at UI?
I apologize in advance if I’ve missed some thing related to this in the thread, there are 40 new pages since I last checked it this morning! I just wanted to consult the group to see if anyone had heard any further details on this since the initial report hit the news Wednesday. I’ve googled to look for news sources but I just seem to be getting opinion pieces. Frankly, I’m just wondering if this os even remotely relevant to anything whatsoever… I mean, I suppose it could be, but I can’t find any info anywhere that suggests so… just a bunch of speculation. Has anyone heard anything else?
The last update I got from legit news source pretty much had just said that the two sororities were on probation for “violations or concerns regarding risk management, alcohol/drugs, or hazing”… and in addition to being on probation with
the university, Alpha Phi is also on a "restorative plan" with the national organization. Pi Beta Phi is in "good standing" with the sorority's headquarters.
UI did not immediately comment, nor did the national chapters, and then I think we ended up or sipping some sort of lukewarm, carefully constructed statement released from Pi Beta Phi.
One of the reasons I’m asking this is because I’ve seen so, so many posts where people are asking if this could be related? I went to 3 different unis and never had the ability to delve into Greek life… so I guess my question is twofold…
1). Is there any further legit info related to this, and…
2). Being that I am ignorant to how Greek life could play a role in this, can some of y’all explain to me why the lack of good-standing by their sororities his could be significant to the case?
Sorry if this seems like an obvious one, like I said I just don’t have a frame of refenece.
Thanks!
