<p>Does anyone know why the Beta's were thrown out of UM? Also, do they have a house currently and will they have another rush?</p>
<p>Beta was thrown out for a long string of violations. They had been on and off social probation for a while, and last year they got into trouble when someone who just accepted a bid had to be hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. They were on strict probation and eventually exonerated until they had an unregistered party that had a lot of legal and social violations. Then they were on probation again. Someone from another fraternity (believed to be PIKE or fiji, but no one is sure) reported to their nationals of photos posted online of drinking in the main hall of their house. This led their nationals to close the chapter. They had several other violations like chapter members violating the alcohol policy at leadership events and things like that. </p>
<p>Currently, their surviving sophomores live in the old ATO house across from DKE. Their older brothers have several houses on East U. They are not doing underground recruitment. Nevertheless, girls from Alpha Phi, Tri Delt, Kappa, etc come over to their houses constantly. They are also still involved in IM sports and Mudbowl. Yes, Beta is very much still a presence on this campus.</p>
