As an alumnus of Colorado State University, I am absolutely appalled at the articles that you have written about the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity over the past few weeks. Where do you get the audacity to write about a fraternity who donated over $1,000 to sponsor a youth soccer team this past fall? In addition to participating in CSUnity on an annual basis, they also help to sponsor the Fort Collins Teen Splash Dance. Why don't you write about those events?

hmmm. . . clearly this city has never heard of freedom of assembly or freedom of association.

story from San Jose Mercury News

After more than 25 years of complaints from neighbors, the city has ordered two off-campus fraternity houses at California State University, Northridge, to be closed down.

Five fraternities on temporary suspension for allegations of violating Purdue's policy on alcohol are trying to regain good standing with the University.

Delta Upsilon, 1300 Stadium Ave., and Phi Kappa Psi, 359 Northwestern Ave., were suspended on Wednesday after the fraternities held functions last week at which minors were given or possessed alcohol, said Kyle Pendleton, assistant dean of students.

On Friday, University officials announced three more fraternities - Kappa Delta Rho, 1134 Northwestern Ave., Pi Kappa Alpha, 629 University Ave., and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 406 Littleton Ave. - were suspended for the same reason.

The five fraternities also violated Interfraternity Council policy that prohibits chapters from holding events involving alcohol during recruitment or Boiler Gold Rush, a week-long orientation program for first-year students.
