Excerpts from much longer article:
Monday evening, the national headquarters for the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity revoked the University’s Virginia-Eta chapter’s charter. The decision was made in conjunction with Dean of Students Allen Groves and Michael Citro, assistant dean of fraternity and sorority life.
“There have been a string of incidents over the past several years,” SPE Director of Operations Brian Warren said, noting that no one issue spurred the shutdown. Instead, Warren cited broad offenses such as “disruptive behavior [and] behavior that doesn’t put the fraternity in a good light,” as the national body’s reason for taking action against the University’s chapter.
“There were significant concerns with the practices of the fraternity, and behaviors that stood in contrast with the University’s mission and values,” Citro said, declining to elaborate.
SPE had been on probation since the spring semester, Warren said, and the fraternity had been under restrictions imposed by the University Judiciary Committee and the Inter-Fraternity Council. . . .
