0A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, September 11. 2000 ZBT allowed to remain on campus The Art Print & oster Sale! ZT Continued from Page 1A But the chapter's request for an appeal last month was granted on the basis of new evidence. The new evidence consisted of an admission of hazing, changes to the chap- ter's membership and sanctions imposed on the chapter by its national organization. "We've accepted responsibility or (the hazing incident) and weve chosen to govern ourselves and take care of the problem internally, said LSA sophomore Israel Nosnik, who became president of the ZBT chapter in April. Former ZBT chapter President Barry Garfinkle declined to comment on the hazing allegations but compared the expulsions to the hearings by Sen. Joseph McCarthy of accused communists in the 1950s. "I'm appalled with the manner in j4AI which my brothers were expelled" Wve d Garfinkle said.t Through a complete membership th review, the ZBT national organization around Y expelled all but one of the active mem- " bers who had formerly been members of the campus Phi Delta Theta fraternity Zeta chapter. Zet IFC expelled the Phi Delt chapter in 1998 following an investigation into the death of University student Courtney Cantor, who died after falling from her sixth-floor Mary Markley Residence Hall window after consuming alcohol at the fraternity. Nine of the 10 Phi Delts who were charged with misde- meanor alcohol violations in connection with Cantors death later became active ZBT members. "Had they not expelled the former Phi Felts, the appeal would never have been granted. They are the root of the problem' "Hustvedt said. The only former Phi Dell member not expelled from ZBT was an upperclassman who had been abroad when the hazing incidents occurred last year. "We felt that we cut out the problem,' ZBT National Executive Director John Yulish said. "The guys who are here are freshmen. They are the guys who were getting hazed last year." Nosnik said the elimination of a large portion of ZBT's membership sets a new standard for current members. "I think that by not having them, we are able to set a new prece- dent of no pledging and no hazing in the house," Nosnik said. As a part of the appeal ruling to change the sanctions rec- ommended by the national organization, the chapter has changed status to a probationary colony. The terms of pro- bation are classified under three sections.- social, brother- hood development and chapter operations. Under social probation, the colony will be allowed only one social event per weekend and no expelled ZBT mem- bers will be permitted to attend functions. The colony will also be required to uphold its national organization's ruling that all new members will be initiated into the fraternity within 72 hours of receiving a bid, thus eliminating any pledge period. One member of the house said the problems of last year are over. "The negative externalities (of hazing) were too large in comparison to the small posi- ecided to house - Jason Kosson a Beta Tau member tives that it wasn't worth it," said LSA sophomore Jason Kosson, one of last year's pledges who endured hazing. "Nothing positive came of it. Kosson said he did not know why no one came forward to stop what was going on. "We just decided to take the blame and stick it out," he said, but added that "definitely we've decided to The Kiss-Hotel DeVille Dave Matthews Band Monday-Friday,.

All new members will be required to sign a statement claiming they know about the sanctions imposed on the fraternity and that they will abide by those sanctions. The statements will then be processed by IFC. ZBT's probationary period will last through this semester and be reviewed by I FC at the end of the year. "They may participate actively in recruitment, philanthropy, new member convocation, Greek Week and intramural sports. These are all positive aspects of Greek life that we want to see them involved in as much as possible," Hustvedt said. ZBT's national organization also has put its own sanc- tions on the colony. These sanctions include a mandatory 10 hours of community service per active member and require the colony to absorb the cost of bringing in a national mem- ber to help with education. "We've got good guys now who are willing to follow the rules," Nosnik said. "' .. !E'}«~l ONX i x .'. .
