Apart from the individual who did the actual harassing, where does the University derive the power to punish the entire organization? If Sigma Chi wants to do this on its own, that's the prerogative.

I can accept some social probation sanctions.

What is the point of denying the chapter a pledge class for the Fall? I truly do not see the point.
The point is the University is trying to send a message that this sort of behavior will be subject to severe sanctions. But you're right. I they believe that their authority under Title IX gives them the power to deny a Fall pledge class to an entire organization as what I can only guess is a simple show of force, what can they not do? It really looks like they, like many schools, where it comes to sanctions under their Title IX authority, they are sort of making it up as they go along.
