That article is probably from The Greenville News. As a Furman alumni (I just graduated in June), I can say that I was really upset when I went back to campus two weeks ago, saw this in the student paper, then talked to a couple SNs I know. They are a great group of guys and the sanctions for the incident while needed are going to hurt them and the rest of the campus. Besides not being able to recruit until next September, they also are able to play in intramurals but not for the championship cup, have their Annual Beach Weekend but only invite their dates, and at least their formal is still on. They aren't allowed to participate in Homecoming either. The loss of Beach Weekend is going to be a BIG blow because of LOT of people party with the Sigma Nu's during this weekend, and typically they have to reserve a whole hotel for the festivities down in Myrtle Beach. And as a person who went to SN's beach weekend 3 years straight - that STINKS.
It seems that the admin felt like they needed to put their foot down with the alcohol policy on campus and make sure that some of the things that have happened regarding alcohol related injuries and deaths on campus don't happen again. They were trying to send a clear message that as a college student you still have to make responsible choices about drinking. My heart goes out to the guys, but I know that they'll be back next year and parties at Belvue will once again be as live as they were in years past. Keep up the faith, guys!!
