. . . California State University, Chico has announced the suspension of Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Chi Fraternities for violations of University policies governing social Greek letter organizations. Pi Kappa Alpha has been suspended for three years, Sigma Chi for two years. The Fraternities received notice of the suspensions yesterday by letter from C.C. Carter, Director of Student Life and Leadership for the university.
According to the University, The suspensions mean the fraternities cannot have any chapter activities and must take their letters down from chapter houses. Members who live in houses will not be asked to move.
“The University has said that we will have an exemplary Greek system, or we will have none at all,” said Paul Zingg, President of the university. “Most of the members of our fraternities and sororities support this goal. Unfortunately, these two organizations, by their actions, have demonstrated that they either do not believe the seriousness of our intention or have decided that they want no part of it. That's their decision. We have made ours.
The University stated Pi Kappa Alpha was suspended for hosting an "Around the World" progressive party April 13 at three different private homes . . . Alcohol was available at all three houses. No social functions, even excluding alcohol, were permitted this spring for Greek chapters.
Pi Kappa Alpha was expressly warned by Student Life and Leadership staff not to hold the April 13th party, but did so anyway.
Sigma Chi was suspended after beer making by one of its officers was discovered in the chapter house. All Greek chapter houses are required to be alcohol-free, and t
he manufacture of alcoholic beverages by a recognized university organization is a violation of the state Education Code. Sigma Chi was already on probation . . . .”
