Beta Theta Pi is dead. After years of controversey and probation, they finally got the boot this year and their empty hulk of a house now sits on State St. just waiting for DKE to move in. What follows here is only rumors, since facts take far too much time to look up.

Beta earned the unfortunate nicknames of "Beta 'Rape-a' Pi" and "Beta Wanna Rape-ya" after an incident a number of years ago where a girl got raped at one of their parties. As it turns out, it wasn't actually a brother, (rumor says it was someone from Eastern, shocking, I know), but the stigma stuck throughout the years nonetheless.

My only real experience with Beta was the guy in my hall who got into a fight at the house resulting in one nasty black eye. He then took a cab back to Markley, refused to pay and got in a fight with the cab driver who gave his first eye a matching counterpart. DPS found him unconscious in front of my door at 4 AM in a pool of his own blood and vomit. Wow, and they got kicked off? Really?

I'm also not sure about what exactly was the final straw that got Beta thrown off campus. I think it has something to do with photos circulating of brothers drinking inside the house (which is supposed to be dry). Of all the shit I've heard, this is what did it? Really? That's like catching Osama Bin Laden by pulling him over for a broken tailight. Ah well, that's life I guess. Rest in peace Beta, I'm sure someone will miss you.
