OXFORD — The Alpha chapter of Sigma Chi fraternity has been suspended from Miami University for violating the code of student conduct on damage, intoxication and disorderly conduct.

In February, it was reported that fraternity members damaged hotel rooms at a Columbus hotel, were intoxicated during the incident and stole items from the hotel gift shop. The chapter was registered for a workshop in Columbus that weekend.

The fraternity was found responsible for violating the code of conduct in a hearing March 2 with the Office of Ethics and Conflict Resolution. The fraternity appealed the decision and on March 26, original sanctions were decreased by the university appeals board to the follow:

• Sigma Chi fraternity will be suspended from Miami University from March 2 to Dec. 31, 2010.

• . . . a reorganization plan must be presented to the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution and approved by both the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution and the Cliff Alexander Office of Fraternal Life by Dec. 3, 2010.

• Upon the fraternity’s return to Miami . . . the fraternity will be placed on disciplinary probation from Jan. 1 to Aug. 23, 2011. The chapter is not permitted to host, co-host, or sponsor any functions with alcohol on its property or elsewhere during the period of probation.

• The chapter will be required to host three alcohol educational programs with at least 80 percent chapter attendance required at all programs . . . .
