<p>Jym626,
But aren’t the guys still at the school, or were allowed to graduate, or whatever? No formal dismissals? I really just don’t understand what is going on here. I don’t think that this is a “city” thing; the responsibility lies with the University to respond to charges concerning fraternities appropriately and promptly, and take the necessary level of action. Any college, but particularly one of this caliber, can be expected to respond very seriously, the first time, to things like date rape/drugging or abusive hazing allegations. No slaps on the wrists involving community service - serious consequences for bad actions. I mean, in reading articles written by student council members themselves, I was blown away that the students have felt betrayed by their own administration for a couple of years now. </p>
<p>Trust me, I’d like to be wrong here, but there is article after article to suggest otherwise, and the only reason I dug them up is because I had thought that this sounded like a great place based on reputation, business associates who attended and had wonderful experiences, and very solid students we know who picked Tulane. Have things taken a turn recently, or were people just turning their heads in the other direction for a long time? </p>
<p>Any insights would be very appreciated. And Hopefully09, good for you for doing your research. This is a decision that you want to get right the first time, if possible. I really hope that you get in, because you seem very committed to the school, and that you have a terrific experience.</p>
