Fiji's came close to being kicked off about five or six years ago. Graduates brothers stepped in and kicked out some Actives (drugs, fights with FB players, hazing, etc.)
Within three years, the House was back and thriving again.
Jim Caswell R.I.P. was a SMU Fiji, along with Payne Stewart.

Which house has taken in all of the Deadheads/ Phish Phans - and where do all the Chi Os go to get their fix?
I'm just shocked it took that long. What was the straw that broke the camel's back?
The leadership of the house did not show up to the meeting for the school to determine their fate. Classic.
It WAS a great house at one time.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AND POSITIVELY WRONG.
Beta chose to leave the campus voluntarily with direction from the General Fraternity. Beta Theta Pi negotiated a guaranteed return to SMU's campus taking a pledge class in the spring of 2009 (next school year). The process is formally in the works.
The chapter will return as a "Men of Principle" chapter as do all new and re-colonized Beta chapters worldwide.
