I began covering Greek life/fraternity conduct cases in the fall of 2017 after hazing and sexual assault were alleged to have happened at a Phi Delta Theta fraternity event. Since then, I have stayed on the Greek life beat, reporting on the Phi Delta Theta conduct case, followed by coverage of Beta Theta Pi violations, plus an overall analysis of fraternity conduct violations over the last five years. This has included record requests and interviews with WSU’s student conduct office, student involvement officials, administrators, national fraternity headquarters, Greek life leaders, and numerous members of WSU’s Greek community (none of the members of the fraternities ever want to talk to me).
