Culturally, we have a tendency to worry a little too much about hypotheticals.
At any rate, CSUN needs to name and investigate the suspected organizations. I find it unlikely that ALL groups on that campus have this issue.

^I agree. I doubt this was all chapters on campus. Sometimes, media exposure on certain events can cause a knee-jerk reaction. This whole situation is just unfortunate. I thought I read somewhere that the campus decided to just punish the organization in question later on down the road. This may be at another school, though.
