CLEMSON, SC – Sigma Alpha Epsilon, in a joint decision between chapter members at Clemson University, their alumni advisory board and the national headquarters, has suspended all activity indefinitely following an inappropriate theme party organized by several of its members at a private, off-campus residence. Most of the chapter’s top officers have resigned from their positions and additionally have been suspended from the organization. Any member who attended the event may face suspension as well, pending the results of internal investigation.
The decision of a few brothers to hold this type of social event is inexcusable and completely inappropriate. Furthermore, their behavior in no way reflects the values and creed of the fraternity, and we apologize to campus and local community for their actions because we teach our brothers to be leaders, scholars and, most importantly, gentlemen. The chapter’s leadership failed to uphold the stringent policies Sigma Alpha Epsilon maintains for social events as part of our health-and-safety program, and there are consequences for their poor decision-making. Interim chapter officers will work with their alumni advisory board to formulate a plan to re-establish the relationship between the chapter and the Clemson community.

This past weekend the SAE chapter held a "Cripmas" party where the attendees dressed as Christmas-themed gang members. Contrary to other news reports this was not a jointly-hosted function with any specific sorority nor was it directly related to unrest on campus as a result of the Ferguson decision. SAE has been holding this party for years, and while that in no way excuses their actions it does mean that they did not decide to hold the party as a result of anything going on nationally.
