The executive coucil of Sigma Chi makes all decisions on charters, suspensions, and expulsions. If a charter is revoked (sp?) or suspended, there will be an announcement placed on the website and it will be included in the executive council minutes that are published in our magazine.
If a member is expelled, it will be noted in the minutes but not on the website. The member's name is not released. In the Johns Hopkins Halloween case, it was noted on the website that the member who created the party invite was expelled. That is the only time I have seen that occur.
Many times, a chapter will expel a member from the chapter, but will not carry out a full expulsion from the fraternity. I know my own chapter has expelled at least 6 or 7 guys over a 20 odd year period. We did not pursue the expulsions to the international fraternity level.
