UCF Confirms Beta Theta Pi Back At UCF
News, UCF Greek Life — By Staff on November 10, 2009 at 4:32 pmUPDATE 6 P.M. FROM UCF:
UCF Spokesman Chad Binette just released this statement to KnightNews.com confirming what we first reported:
“Beta Theta Pi and representatives of the university met recently and successfully resolved their differences. The university is looking forward to having Beta Theta Pi successfully complete its suspension at the end of the Spring 2010 semester.”
OUR ORIGINAL COVERAGE:
KnightNews.com has gotten confirmation from a reliable UCF source that Beta Theta Pi will be allowed back on the UCF campus by 2010.
According to an out of court settlement between the fraternity and UCF:
“Beta Theta Pi and the University of Central Florida have come to an amicably agreed settlement on all prior issues. Upon successful completion of all requirements, the University will allow Beta to return after Spring 2010.”
Lance Flint, a brother of Beta, told KnightNews.com: “Beta and I are glad it’s over and we hope we can have a good working relationship with UCF for many years to come.”
KnightNews.com is working right now to get official confirmation from UCF officials about this.
Beta Theta Pi was suspended by UCF after being accused of gang raping a girl, but the girl later dropped the case. A controversy ensued when UCF found the group in violation of sexual misconduct, based on school rules, despite the criminal case being dropped.

Honesty and the truth always prevails. Upward and onwards Beta Theta Pi…Men of Honor and Integrity.
As a Beta dad I am very proud of their actions and integrity during this time of testing. Well done Betas!!!
Couldn’t be any happier! Beta is a great group of guy who DESERVE TO BE BACK!
Excellent. Good to see something that we all worked so hard for will still be around when we come back and visit UCF.
Proud of my brothers for fighting for what’s right.

Outstanding! Since they resolved their differences and they were found in violation on a technicality anyway (translation: none of them really did anything wrong), why do they have to wait until Spring 2010?
Wow that’s great. Glad to see you back Beta!
