SMU administration cracking down

It's amazing to me that the university decided to punish Kappa Alpha Order to the extreme that they did in order to make a point to IFC and the SMU greek system. This has been a heated debate for the past few days on whether or not the punishment fit the crime. Yes, KA had not been off some type of university suspension for more than 6 weeks in the past 3 years. Yes, they did not register some parties with the university. Yes, there was an apparent hazing incident. But is this enough to completely shut their charter down for the next 4 years? Ruin their reputation, and force over 70 actives and 25 pledges out of the greek system (which so many people on this campus are apart of). People have argued that there are other fraternities that have committed worse offenses more times but are still allowed to continue on this campus. I do not agree with completely shutting a chapter down. This seems like a lazy way to punish an entire chapter for individuals actions. SMU administration is trying to impede on something (greek life) that has such a huge impact on so many people's lives and which generates a huge revenue for the school itself. Being affiliated with another greek organization, I hope that the KA pledges can find another place that they can experience greek life and I hope Kappa Alpha comes back strong in the fall of 2012.
