IFC at MIT: One Fraternity Expelled, Another Recolonizing

At MIT, Alpha Tau Omega has been expelled from the IFC. ATO has appealed, but a decision on the appeal has not been announced.

Also at MIT, Sigma Alpha Epsilon reportedly is recolonizing and has been recognized as an associate member of the IFC.

All this and more in an article in the Institute’s campus paper:

Excerpts from longer artcile:

Alpha Tau Omega Expelled from IFC Pending Appeal; New Fraternity Joins
By Natasha Plotkin NEWS EDITOR September 4, 2009

The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity was expelled from the Interfraternity Council last Thursday but has appealed this decision and is waiting on the results, according to ATO’s president DeRon M. Brown ‘10. Brown wrote in an e-mail that ATO does not know when it will receive a decision on its appeal. He said he is also uncertain if ATO will participate in rush, which starts Saturday.

. . .When a fraternity is expelled from the IFC, it is also stripped of MIT recognition. . . . .

The IFC council voted Wednesday to approve Sigma Alpha Epsilon as an associate member of the IFC.

As an associate member, SAE does not have voting rights and pays half the usual IFC dues, but will be participating fully in rush. . . . the process of becoming a full member will likely to take about three years.

. . . Current SAE president Raven J. Reddy ’12 said that the alumni of this organization were crucial in the reestablishment of the chapter: “The [alumni] wanted a chapter back … They’re the ones who gave us legitimacy,” he said. . . .
