I really feel an obligation to the students for safety and well-being. For example, if it looks like students have been smoking - and it has to be pretty clear - [or] if it looks like they've tampered with safety equipment or have covered up the smoke detectors, at that point I think I take a pretty strong stance. |
In a lot of cases when drugs or anything else that's illegal as far as [a fraternity's] statute is concerned, the University takes the stance that we prohibit the illegal possession, use or transfer of any controlled substance or paraphernalia, defined by the fraternity statute. From that, as well as through our [housing] contract it's within our contractual rights to suspend housing, at least in terms of individuals. |
One of the things I tell my staff to pass along to their brothers is that I won't come into your house unless I've been called or I need to be there. I do walk fraternity row, but not every day, just to see outside how things look. But unless there's some reason I don't go in the house. |
