First of all, the good news. We think we have a reasonable plan to generate rental income through the suspension period. […]
In March, when hazing allegations were first raised against five fraternities, the IFC and University directed all houses to immediately initiate their pledges. The 29 Theta Chi pledges from the Class of 2024 thus became active brothers in March 2024. All the undergraduate brothers automatically became alumni when National revoked our charter (except for the […]

We anticipate significant expenses in the year […]
