Anybody know the details: discriminatory homecoming parade float

[hoosier]

(I wonder if any of the old timers can remind us of any details about the discriminatory homecoming parade float which closed two chapters at CSU in 1998?)


List of CSU Greek chapters in violation of alcohol rules

September 9, 2005

Since 1998 at Colorado State University, six Greek chapters have been closed, one chapter was reorganized and one chapter lost its recognition as a student organization:

• 1998 — Alpha Chi Omega sorority was closed due in large part to its role in creating a discriminatory homecoming parade float.

• 1998 — The university withdrew recognition of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity due in large part to its role in creating a discriminatory homecoming parade float. The Pi Kappa national charter did not close the chapter.

• 1998 — Beta Theta Pi fraternity — was closed for repeated alcohol violations and neighborhood disturbances.

• 2000 — Sigma Nu fraternity was closed for hazing and repeated alcohol violations.

• 2000 — Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity was reorganized for hazing and repeated alcohol violations. The fraternity was reduced and reorganized as a group of 10 members and was deemed an alcohol-free fraternity.

• 2001 — Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity was closed for repeated alcohol violations and allegations of drug use and assaults.

• 2004 — Sigma Pi fraternity was closed due to several rule infractions, including alcohol-related violations.

• 2004 — Delta Sigma Phi fraternity was closed due to several rule infractions, including alcohol-related violations.

There have been no reported incidents of hazing at Colorado State since spring of 2000 when Sigma Nu was closed in part due to a hazing-related event.
