Kappa Sigma Closes U of Georgia Chapter (Hazing, Substance Abuse)

Kevin and LaneSig:

Possibly for your lists? Kappa Sigma has "shut down" its chapter at the U of Georgia. Reportedly (see second article listed) this was a 110-year-old chapter. See articles linked below:

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Kappa Sigma fraternity has shut down its University of Georgia chapter after an investigation.

Mic Wilson, executive director of the fraternity's . . . governing body, announced the closing. A letter sent to the chapter last week says an investigation found that members had violated the fraternity's rules on hazing and substance abuse. . . .

The chapter's fraternity house will be off limits to fraternity members next semester. University officials are lining up housing for fraternity members.
