Sigma Chi Suspended at Miami (OH)
Kevin and others,
Sigma Chi's chapter at Miami has been suspended, according to this article on a newspaper's site:
http://www.oxfordpress.com/news/oxfo...cal-news&imw=Y
Excerpts:
Updated 2:40 PM Friday, April 2, 2010
OXFORD — The Alpha chapter of Sigma Chi fraternity has been suspended from Miami University for violating the code of student conduct on damage, intoxication and disorderly conduct.
In February, it was reported that fraternity members damaged hotel rooms at a Columbus hotel, were intoxicated during the incident and stole items from the hotel gift shop. The chapter was registered for a workshop in Columbus that weekend.
The fraternity was found responsible for violating the code of conduct in a hearing March 2 with the Office of Ethics and Conflict Resolution. The fraternity appealed the decision and on March 26, original sanctions were decreased by the university appeals board to the follow:
• Sigma Chi fraternity will be suspended from Miami University from March 2 to Dec. 31, 2010.
• . . . a reorganization plan must be presented to the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution and approved by both the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution and the Cliff Alexander Office of Fraternal Life by Dec. 3, 2010.
• Upon the fraternity’s return to Miami . . . the fraternity will be placed on disciplinary probation from Jan. 1 to Aug. 23, 2011. The chapter is not permitted to host, co-host, or sponsor any functions with alcohol on its property or elsewhere during the period of probation.
• The chapter will be required to host three alcohol educational programs with at least 80 percent chapter attendance required at all programs . . . .

It looks like the school's Administration is trying to make it hard for the house to get new members for the next 2 years.
For this to happen to an Alpha chapter is painful for everyone in Greek life. I'm sure that everyone hopes that the reorganization will be successful.

Yes and in Sigma Chi's case it really is the school where they were founded. Some GLOs assign it differently, for Chi Omega for example, the founding chapter is Psi.

I know that Sammy is recolonizing next semester, but haven't heard anything about Sigman Chi.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. (Like that wouldn't happen anyway.)
When Miami suspends a chapter, it does not mean that they are closed. The suspension means that the fraternity or sorority cannot participate in certain campus events, hold socials, even take pledge classes for a certain time. Sigma Chi (and the sororities that were recently suspended) did not lose its charter, so it will not be recolonizing. It will simply be taken off of its suspension critieria and allowed to participate fully in campus activities.

I think you are correct in that is usually the case but the way the article is written says:
Upon the fraternity’s return to Miami . . . the fraternity will be placed on disciplinary probation from Jan. 1 to Aug. 23, 2011. The chapter is not permitted to host, co-host, or sponsor any functions with alcohol on its property or elsewhere during the period of probation.
So I just don't know if they have been there all along and/or the writer of the column just does not know what they are talking about.
