RICHMOND, VIRGINIA...Sigma Phi Epsilon National Fraternity immediately suspended the charter and all activities of its Wake Forest University chapter pending a complete investigation of reported cruelty to animals by some members of the Wake Forest chapter.
"Sigma Phi Epsilon condemns the acts being reported over the weekend from Wake Forest University," said Executive Director Craig D. Templeton. "The apparent acts of these members absolutely contradict the teachings and values of respect on which our Fraternity is based."
"Our staff is cooperating completely with local authorities to investigate all aspects of this incident," Templeton said today. "It is always unfortunate when the acts of a few reflect negatively on an entire group."
The investigation presently involves 20 members of the 80-man Wake Forest fraternity that is marked with grades and performance above the campus average.
