San Diego State University has suspended 14 fraternities amid allegations that “possible misconduct” at one of them may have been linked to the death of a 19-year-old student over the weekend, the authorities said.
The student, Dylan Hernandez, was found without a pulse by his dormitory roommate and was hospitalized Thursday after reportedly attending a fraternity event the night before, according to the San Diego County medical examiner’s office.
On Friday, the San Diego State University Police Department opened an investigation and the university president, Adela de la Torre, suspended the Interfraternity Council and its 14 affiliated fraternity chapters.

By what legal justification do you shut down 14 organizations, with no basis or facts, because a victim of a possible crime was a member of one of them?
Scratch every leftist academic and you will quickly find a fascist underneath.
Would that ‘event’ happen to be hazing?
They need a lawyer. Getting new housing is hard mid semester and expensive.
“By what legal justification do you shut down 14 organizations, with no basis or facts, because a victim of a possible crime was a member of one of them?”
Well, they are organizations with men in them, of course.
Typically heterosexual, healthy, and socially attractive men from good families.
As such, they are guilty, per se.
Bingo!
The non-involved organizations should sue the hell out of the school.
When a fraternity is suspended it usually means they can no longer operate or participate in any university events or functions. I don’t think it includes evicting whatever members happen to live in the fraternity houses. In any event, eviction is a process that takes a lot of time. These young men will probably not be thrown out onto the street.
If the houses are privately owned, I’m not sure the university has anything to say about evictions.
I am getting tired of this anti-fraternity crap.
When I went to college and belonged to a fraternity, the dorm parties were as bad, if not worse, than any fraternity party. We actually did good for community - volunteer work, tutoring, etc.
Suspending all fraternities for what might be the poor judgement of one individual is ridiculous.
I guess they just can’t have men organizing for the purposes of offering mutual assistance in the honorable labors and aspirations of life, devotion to the cultivation of the intellect, unsullied friendship and unfaltering fidelity as objects worthy of the highest aim and purpose of associated effort.
Forever in ~kai~
Liberals don’t want men to associate with each other.
I think you have a different definition of “socially attractive” than I do. “Animal House” may be fiction but fraternity members are more promiscuous and statistically more likely to abuse alcohol than non-members. Not the kind of man I would want any female of my acquaintance to associate with, with some exceptions.
No, no different definition. Talking about different things.
Notably, I said “socially attractive”. There is no moral component involved.
I will note that the fraternity kids typically grow up and are consistently who ends up running and creating companies. And it has little to do with wealth.
Thanks for explaining. Even so, if I had a daughter I would warn her away from the fraternity guys. Marrying a bigshot who runs his own company isn’t worth a hill of beans if he ends up losing it all due to a drinking problem or ends up with a paternity suit from some bimbo after years of marriage.
You have some strong prejudices against fraternity members.
I was in a fraternity. I have been happily married for 33 years and I don’t have a drinking problem.
Did some fraternity guy steal your girlfriend years ago or something?
I worked campus security, part time. Frat boys and sorority slags were the ones who turned stupidity into a professional pursuit. They LABOR at stupid. And this after 4 years in the Marines. Like the frat boys who dumped a passed out Soc Sister in the snow near the steps of her house, at 2am on a sub zero night, and left her.
If I hadn't found her, she would have been a meatcicle by dawn.
Odd how STEM students didn't rush...

No.

I pointed out that alcohol abuse is statistically higher among fraternity members than non-members. That does not make me prejudiced against fraternities any more than pointing out the blacks are overrepresented in violent crime rates makes me a racist who hates black people. I am aware that not all fraternities are the same, just like not all blacks are the same. That doesn't change the overall trend.

Great! I'm happy for you. It gets kind of annoying to have keep repeating "not all...are like that" statements but yeah, I get it, not all fraternity members are like that.
