I read this to be a temporary measure while an investigation is conducted based on: The UC Berkeley chapter of the fraternity has “ceased operations,” Kirk said, meaning “all facets of chapter programs or events” will cease while headquarters “staff and volunteers work with the chapter to investigate the situation.”

In the Post-Dispatch today, Lindenwood is eliminating most undergraduate programs at the Belleville campus starting in Fall 2020. Undergraduate students, per the article, may transfer to the main campus in St. Charles, MO or finish their degrees on line.

There are 2 fraternities at LU-B, Phi Beta Sigma and Sigma Tau Gamma. The St Louis campus already has TriSigma and Phi Beta Sigma chapters. Wondering if Sig Tau will be given permission to "transfer" their charter to the St Louis campus.
