[quote=Anonymous]At my college there are multiple levels of banning. The softest was a suspension by the college. Those chapters continued to exist but could not take new members or hold events during the suspension. This usually did not implicate their national charter, if they were national. My college also has many local fraternities and sororities. After the suspension everything resumed as normal.

Then there was a full ban by the college. This could either be for a certain amount of time or permanent. The certain time ones were basically to allow all the current members to graduate and leave and give a buffer so current students would never know what that house was like. This may or may not implicate a national charter, if applicable. I’ve seen many that were banned for some number of terms eventually come back and their alumni come to campus and help get the house going again. This is most common for frats where the alumni corp owns the house. If the college owns the house and the guys are banned, that’s basically the end of the house because it’s unlikely they would be able to get a new space years latter.

Permanent bans are supposed to mean the house can never ever ever come to campus. Immediate cessation of operations. Again, may or may not implicate the national charter, if applicable. However, I’ve seen one frat that was banned permanently and stripped of its charter by its National be allowed to come back after roughly 15 years due to a very influential alum. They did not regain their national charter so they came back as a local house. Their alumni corporation never ceased to exist and retained a valuable house on frat row as an asset that they rented for the duration until they were able to come back. Their alumni remained involved and very interested in bringing the house back in whatever from they could as soon as possible.

Houses were also put on probation for one or more terms, during which time they couldn’t host events but could participate in recruitment if it was a recruitment term. [/quote]
