Sigma Chi takes a very hard line on alcohol abuse. We have suspended and sanctioned chapters for infractions far less serious than those alleged in this case. To make it clear, our policies state that:

~The illegal possession, sale or distribution of alcohol at a chapter house or during a fraternity function is prohibited. This means that all chapter members, collectively or individually, are prohibited from purchasing, selling or serving alcohol to any person under the legal drinking age.

~Our chapters are prohibited from hosting an open social function where alcohol is present.

~Under no circumstances shall alcohol be served to any member or pledge in connection with any aspect of the pledge education program.

A preliminary investigation suggests these policies were violated in the Beta Kappa chapter house. If verified, the chapter—which we suspended on Thursday—will not be reactivated any time soon.
