Michigan Beta Chapter Closes

Frat's National Org Dissolves Chapter

After they were said to have repeated violated campus rules, the University of Michigan's chapter of Beta Theta Pi will be forced to close its doors for good.

The national organization of Beta Theta Pi decided to close the fraternity after several violations from the past few years caught their attention. In 2005, pictures of brothers drinking extreme amounts of alcohol showed up in the hands of campus officials.

Last summer, four brothers were caught violating alcohol policies while attending a Beta leadership event, and one was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. The straw that supposedly broke the camel's back, so to speak, was when a picture of a chapter officer drinking on St. Patrick's Day were sent to the national fraternity

The shut down the frat May 2 and there is not yet any word whether the Betas will have a chance to return to Michigan anytime soon.
