Taz Patel Potentially Abusing IFC Presidency

IFC President and Kappa Sigma brother Taz Patel allegedly told rushees of at least two fraternities that Kappa Sig would continue partying, immediately after shutting down other houses' parties and rush events Tuesday night. A rushee reported being invited to Kappa Sig's party by Patel himself while leaving one of the indicted houses.

Among the 10 houses put on social probation, at least one claimed to be cited for simply playing music. This is potentially one more black eye for the Office of Student Life, which oversees IFC, including the new $40 fee for student groups and the complete elimination of student publication funding. Additionally, ASUC-OSL relations could be better.

This is likely to make other Greeks accuse Patel of shutting down other houses' parties as a recruitment tool. Even if he's not actually using his authority as a rush tool, but merely neglecting to enforce regulations on his own house, the damage to IFC's reputation may be irreversible.
