Student Council suspends ETA Lodge's CIO status

At last night's Student Council meeting, Architecture representative Greg Moore raised an objection to ETA Lodge's qualification as a Contracted Independent Organization.

ETA Lodge, not to be confused with the national fraternity Chi Psi also known as the "Lodge," was denied admittance into the Inter-Fraternity Council last Thursday.

Vice President for Organizations Eli Dejarnette said ETA Lodge thus is not following the terms of their qualifications petition, which includes the group's purpose, to obtain Greek status.

According to Council bylaws, ETA Lodge's status automatically is suspended until the next Council meeting at which time a hearing will be held to formally determine their status.

If Council votes to revoke ETA Lodge's CIO status, Dejarnette said the group technically can reapply for CIO status with a non-discrimination clause.
