It is true that Sig Ep and Alpha Phi are on a very strict probation during the investigation. I heard that the Alpha Phi's are not allowed to gather even for Monday night dinner. Sadly, I have also heard (through a young alumni rumor mill) that several brand new members have dropped out. I also heard that members are still fearful to wear their letters around campus and the neighborhood because of the perception that they are "the racist sorority". I do have close ties with this chapter and from what I am hearing it is a pretty grim situation for this Alpha Phi chapter. UCLA has such a strong and active greek community, and Alpha Phi has always been a super strong chapter. This party was the very first mixer that the chapter had post recruitment! Naturally the new members and their parents have been stunned by the attention in the media and on campus. And the older members are heartbroken and frustrated.
