Just a week after our beloved Keg had its alcohol license revoked by Mayor Tisdahl, tragedy has struck again. This time the ax was taken to the Greek scene as Chi Psi’s national Executive Council announced it will shut down the Northwestern chapter, better known as “Lodge” (or Loj for the cool kids), immediately. An official statement from Chi Psi’s national governing body cited reasons like the fraternity’s “values” and Lodge’s experiences, which apparently diverged from said values. Although Lodge expressed a plan to eventually return to the campus, all other details remain muddy with Lodge President Mazdak Bradberry declining to comment when we reached him this evening. The fraternity’s hush hush reaction to the whole debacle leaves most students simply scratching their heads and bemoaning the fate of NU’s fragile social scene. How is the student body supposed to console ourselves with a simple press release? Does this mean other frats are in the crosshairs? If Evanston boards up TKOE and raging frat parties are liable to get the chapters dissolved, what does this mean for NU’s social scene next year, or even for next quarter? Where are the answers to our questions? Oh, the humanity!
