DAYTON, Ohio -- A University of Dayton disciplinary board has placed the campus chapter of Alpha Phi sorority on one-year probation for damaging a downtown Dayton banquet hall during a late March social event.

According to University officials, the chapter will be required to make full restitution to the University for $2,309, which the University paid to the hall's owners for repairs; engage in alcohol-education activities; and make public written apologies to the University of Dayton campus community as well as the Dayton community.

During the probation, which extends through May 15, 2011, all sorority events must be alcohol-free and the group is prohibited from holding events off campus. . . .

This one has yet to make huge media waves, and it appears the college will be holding individuals more responsible, even though Alpha Phi will be undergoing a disciplinary hearing soon. Some girls were gracious enough to go back to the venue and apologize face to face as well.

You know... I don't know what it is about SW Ohio recently... but it's making me wonder. Is this behavior nothing new, and it's just making public news now? Has it gotten this out of hand because GLOs havent been punished enough in the past for similar things? Is it a geographical thing? I've noticed high school parties around here make high school parties in columbus and northern ohio look like friday night bingo at the church hall. Or is it a new trend? Or is it the dates that are taking advantage of the situation (it's not THEIR organization, afterall)? Or is it just a lack of alcohol education and lessons in responsibility? Is it like this everywhere else in the US?

Probation and suspension were nothing I ever experienced in college. None of the 4 sororities at my small school would dare test the limits like this. Even the fraternities were never that bad...Sig Pi's were put on social probation for one year for having a party with kegs that didnt get registered with campus security, but that's all I can remember. I'm not saying we were goodies who never had parties... I just never saw anyone get to the point where school or National GLO discipline was needed.

What in the name of all that is holy is going on at Miami? The following was taken from the ZTA national website

Official Statement from Zeta Tau Alpha on Beta Delta Chapter at Miami University

Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity agrees with and respects the decision made May 27 by Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) to place our Beta Delta Chapter on probation for two years.

A small percentage of our members violated our national policies while traveling by bus to a social event at the Cincinnati Zoo on April 23, 2010. Their conduct did not reflect the standards and values of our Fraternity. Prior to the university hearing, our National Council had conducted our own investigation that resulted in a Fraternity-imposed probation and educational sanctions that the chapter must follow when school reopens in August.

“We regret that the actions of some of our members and their guests were inappropriate,” National President Laura Ladewig Mauro said. “Our internal investigation revealed that the majority of our members and their guests conducted themselves properly during the party at the zoo and on the buses. However, we teach our members that their individual actions reflect on the whole chapter and the entire Fraternity and we must remain diligent in reinforcing our values.”

Zeta Tau Alpha installed Beta Delta Chapter at Miami on March 18, 1926. The chapter has been a consistent recipient of Fraternity awards since 2000.

Zeta Tau Alpha was founded in 1898 at the State Female Normal School (now Longwood University) in Farmville, Va., and has 152 active collegiate chapters and more than 205,000 members worldwide. One of the nation’s largest Greek women’s groups, ZTA develops members’ leadership, academic and service skills, and supports breast cancer education and awareness as its national philanthropy.

So now the question remains why two years from ZTA and AXiD and only one for Pi Phi?

I think the administration and all remaining groups at Miami need to take a hard look at Greek Life at Miami. 4 NPC organizations have been seriously sanctioned or closed in the past year. That is really scary.

Just pointing out: ZTA is on probation, not suspension. Alpha Xi Delta and Pi Beta Phi were suspended. I know it's only semantics, but it does make a difference.

Ah..thanks, Lane. That does make a difference. I hadn't noticed that.

Ohio is really damn flat and people get bored. That's my conclusion. You don't see this isht in PA, we've got constant road construction and hills and valleys to keep us occupied.

And as far as the difference in suspension length, I really do think it has to do with the venues that the groups were at. "Drunken sorority trashes civil rights museum" sounds a lot worse than "drunken sorority trashes resort with lake named after owner."

Oh, I completely agree, but when I thought that the ZTAs were suspended for two years, that made me wonder what was so special about the zoo.

I don't think the behavior that has caused these sanctions is new. My guess would be that since the earlier events and penalties have been publicized so much in the media, now all the sororities are under extra scrutiny for their prior behavior. So maybe companies and the public are reporting things to the school that were previously left unmentioned?
