they weren’t as cool as the Bags
about half my freshman hall pledged DKE -- they were mostly good dudes
it's also the first frat party that like 90% of Wake kids went to on account of their location

Because in-house Bare Naked Ladies cover bands are the best.
Srsly tho, I know we are private so they I guess can enforce any kind of code of conduct they want, but at some point if you are off campus, you are allowed to have a private life and allowed to exercise your constitutional rights on private property like right to assemble. There has to be a rub there somewhere.
I guess the problem is that I am guessing that the house is in the chapter name or maybe even the national charter name? So the kids need to play nice with the univ to be able to use it.
If this is really it, the kids could offer to buy the house from the chapter, form an LLC to hold the RE, collect dues to pay the mortgage and soldier on, but it is pretty tough to get 80 drunk stoned kids moving all the same direction, much less convince daddy warbucks x 80 to fund it.
At least Mike Ford is gone, that fugging tool was the worst.
cest la vie DKE
Mike Ford was a total douchebag. My favorite memory of him was his threatening to get me kicked out of intramural basketball for playing on multiple teams. I told him to do it, but that it would cost the Sigma Chi A Team every one of their wins and get them tossed from fraternity leagues for their best (or second best) player doing the same thing and playing on two of my teams.
Post Script: Gerald Ford was a DKE at Michigan.
Not up on the rules of Fraternization, but is it "once a bagger always a bagger", or can you de-pledge? If I'm a DKE I'm cutting all ties and hopefully expunging my name from any association with DKE during my time at Wake. That thing will follow them like toilet paper on a shoe for the rest of their careers, certainly any public one if not private.
You're right. You don't know "the rules." One can de-pledge or de-brother, at any time. No questions asked. And nothing better exemplifies the meaning of, and the bonds of, Greek life brotherhood than "cutting all ties," because of how it might make you look to others.
