the fall of purdue greeks - from a (now former) λ
by: Gone But Not Forgotten
As many of you will soon hear, as of today (May 24th, 2016) Purdue Lambda Chi Psi Zeta will join Sig Ep, Snu, and Beta as formally suspended from Purdue's campus. Alongside our houses are Dchi and Theta Chi, on which Purdue has imposed the strictest levels of organizational probation. Beyond this, numerous other houses are on varying levels of probation or privilege limitation.
As for our situation, it is important for you to know how and why our 100 years on Purdue's campus came to an end. In October the house was placed on a two year probation with strict limitation of privledges after a person under 21 returned to their dorm intoxicated after a party and said they had been at Lambda Chi. During this investigation, the community standards board (on which Brandon Cutler resides and personally attends every hearing) recommended a full 5-year suspension, which was later overturned in favor of a two-year probationary period. At this point, the fraternity experience of half our members has been cut short, and those above (and more or less including) their sophomore year could kiss goodbye ever experiencing the way things were again.
Following more unproven allegations in February, Purdue (read: Brandon Cutler) once again attempted to impose the strictest suspension punishments on our house. After a lengthy judicial and appeals process, we were handed down further punishments in late April that included membership review and rush minimums. [CONTINUED BELOW]

Please note that an appeal of the Nationals' decision was filed by a fantastic alum attorney within the past two weeks. We need LXA Brothers AND PARENTS willing to sign letters supporting the appeal. If you have interest in keeping The Box alive, please reply to this this message and PASS IT ON. We can figure out how to exchange contact information.

LXA nationals is more worried about staying on the good side of Dean Cutler so that LXA can start a chapter here in five or so years. A little letter from an angry minority isn't going to do anything. LXA nationals isn't worried about keeping the current now-suspended brothers or the alumni happy. They are focused on Dean Cutler.

Note to all of the Purdue Greeks.
1. Put ALL of your social media on PRIVATE.
2. Watch what you post, especially if there is alcohol
3. Better yet, don’t post anything when you are functioning.
4. Your posts should only be about your philanthropic endeavors and community service.
5. Social media is the devil and getting all of you in trouble
