OU Interfraternity Council placed Sigma Phi Epsilon on social probation until Jan. 1, 2005.
IFC, at a closed-door meeting Wednesday night, also barred the fraternity from all campus activities, including intramural and Campus Activities Council events, until January 2005, according to Andrew Sledge, member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Sledge said his chapter’s president told him about the events of the meeting.
The fraternity will be allowed to finish competing in Sooner Scandals, a spring-semester Campus Activities Council event, IFC President Omar Zantout said.
Andy Oden, Sigma Phi Epsilon’s Oklahoma Alumni president, said the situation between the fraternity and IFC began last fall during rush, when the fraternity signed more rushees than IFC allowed.
The fraternity apparently signed 76 rushees, which was 21 more than IFC allowed fraternities to sign, Oden said.
