Individual members being thrown out of their fraternity or sorority for misconduct is nothing new. Although 30 years ago nationals rarely (if ever) came in and eliminated the memberships of everyone in an entire chapter. So I'm talking about members being thrown out for individual conduct. I suspect that thirty years ago (other than nonpayment of dues) most adverse membership actions for fraternities and sororities typically involved, without going into detail, some type of alleged sexual misconduct. This happened fairly often and to even long-time active members who did not conform the then cultural norms.
It is clearly a different world now and the reasons for ejecting active members are very different. My question, for those who are in a position to know, is this:
Do you see a greater number of ejections of initiated members for individual misconduct now than say thirty years ago when pledging was a longer process?
