North-American Interfraternity Conference

1.How and why violations of the Fraternity’s policy and law occurred. Violations of the fraternity’s policy and law occurred due to actions deemed as hazing during a call down and by having candidates exchange small favors for member signatures. Also, the presence and consumption of alcohol violated the campus’ and fraternity’s policies. The fraternity conducted a tailgate function during a period of suspended activity and also lacked in cooperation during interviews. These violations do not represent the fraternity in any way and do not reflect on the character of each and every member of the fraternity. 2.How the chapter and individual members have or would be held accountable for such violations. The chapter has continued to suspend the candidate curriculum along with ceasing all planned functions involving the fraternity. Individual members of the fraternity have shown great courage by admitting to their violations and have taken full responsibility of their actions. These violations go against the foundation that this fraternity was built on and the penalty for these violations should not be administered lightly.

Members of the fraternity involved in these violations meant no harm to a candidate or to the chapter as a whole. All actions were carried out with a mindset that only focused on the immediate outcomes. Members clearly were not acting out with the…

However they all have the same foundation of brotherhood, scholarship, and service to uplift…

Phi Theta Kappa was founded in 1918 and is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious honor society serving two-year colleges worldwide.

I had never considered joining an organization like this but after some research I think this could certainly benefit my future both professionally and personally. Phi Theta Kappa’s mission is…

In the hours before the fire, the astronauts encountered problems with a sour smell from the oxygen loop of Grissom’s spacesuit,…

Saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is one of the local columnar cactus of the very few that is found in Tucson, Arizona. These giant cactus can grow between 14 m to over 20 m while weighing over 3200 lbs. These cactus are heavy because of a desert adaptation which allows them to retain water by expanding its core. This allows the species to survive the extreme hot and dry summer conditions of the Sonoran Desert. However, this cactus doesn’t have high fitness in the cold conditions, so the…
