See article in a Knoxville news source:

Similar, but shorter, report apparently from the Nashville Tennessean:

Idiots.

Were these guys top tier?

Kevin, I just don't know, sorry. The mug shots of the arrestees posted on the SmokingGun web site show a lot of t-shirts. Many of the discussions on GC about "top tier" and the like seemed, at least in the past, to have focused on "collared shirts." (Also brands of shoes, but the SmokingGun doesn't show those.) But who knows; maybe things are different at Vanderbilt, or maybe t-shirts are appropriate attire for the kind of event that was going on.

Wish I could be of more help, Kevin.

It's a Sigma Chi chapter, so of course they are top tier. ;)

dude
they were rafting on a camping trip
i don't know many people who would want to wear polos and oxfords camping....

Were.

Rowdy behavior and fireworks? I don't know that a charter will be pulled for that - I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I would bet they'll be fine.

1. It's only drinking on an out of town trip. Who cares? (Also the likelihood that it wasn't an official fraternity function)

2. That's a big money chapter.

And yes, I think they're top-tier. Not completely up to date on my Vanderbilt tiers, but I've met a few and would guess that they are. And as was pointed out, I wouldn't be wearing a polo, chinos and boat shoes on a rafting trip either.

Actually, you're right.

I'll admit it. I didn't read the article and assumed the worst.

IHSV

The student paper reports that the investigation continues. It also reports on support for Sigma Chi from others in the Greek community at Vanderbilt:

The mugshots are pretty funny....most look a little bit wasted!

I guess once bitten, twice shy didn't really strike them as good advice.

:rolleyes:
