Phi Delts Awarded $127K for Alleged Hazing Damages

UI Fraternity Awarded More than $127,000 in Lawsuit

Score one for the good guys! Back in 2002, a pledge for Phi Delta Theta at the University of Iowa wore a wire and allegedly recorded a hazing incident. However, the University eventually dropped the hazing charges and the chapter was re-instated in 2004. Unfortunately the damage was done and the chapter closed shop in 2005 due to low membership.

The fraternity did what it should have, it sued! The courts ruled the tape was illegality obtained, and that the frat suffered financially because of it.The fraternity won, to the tune of more than $127,000 from the University, the state, and the school official who lead the investigation.

You gotta love it.

Lehigh Crows Taking Traditional Frat Boy Approach to Problem Solving

Crow Fraternity Loses House
Lehigh Frat Loses Place to Hang its Hat


As reported last week here at the Frat Boy News, Lehigh's chapter of Alpha Chi Rho is getting booted out of their house.

As a follow to the story, the Crows did in fact get kicked out on Wednesday, becoming the first fraternity to be a victim of Lehigh's Greek occupancy rule. The 24 brothers failed to fill their house, and when they returned from winter break, found out they were being forced to move out. The university requires 90 percent occupancy, something Alpha Chi Rho hasn't been able to for the past 4 semesters.

''Lehigh's less fun,'' said Tyler Rock, the university's IFC president. ''It's like, 'What's Lehigh going to do now to reduce fun?'''

Check out a video, posted by the Morning Call made by the brothers here.

'Girls Gone Wild' Founder Sentenced

Probation and Fine for Girls Gone Wild Founder Joe Francis

'Girls Gone Wild' has been a college tradition for years. Joe Francis, founder of the classic film series, created an empire from drunk girls on spring break showing their tata's.

Francis was sentenced to 2 year's probation and 200 hours of community service Monday for the exploitation of minors.

Poor Joe never verified the ages of two 17-year old girls in 2002's Ultimate Spring Break, a series which irrelevantly spawned 7 sequels. The girls in question engaged in sexual activity.

This wasn't Francis' first court appearance in response to his videos. At a previous hearing, the entrepreneur of high-class American film said, "The FBI investigated me for five years ... and this is the best that they could come up with."

Is Joe really to blame though?

Isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

Chi Phi, the University of Rhode Island's oldest fraternity, will be moving back on campus after a 2 year hiatus.

The chapter's new house will be completed in September of 2007. In 2005, the fraternity was kicked off campus for violating the school's substance abuse policy. Officials say the frat's recolonization will be complete a year later.

Their old house will be the new home for the college's International Engineering program students.

Substance abuse, shumptance abuse - On behalf of the Frat Boy News, welcome back guys.
