With all due respect, the Sigma Chi Fraternity's Executive Committee (EC) voted August 2, 2002 to to suspend the Fraternity’s Theta Phi Chapter at the California State University – San Luis Obispo. It was released to the press, as well as posted on the web site, six days later on August 8, 2002.

SIGMA CHI PLACES CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, SAN LUIS OBISPO CHAPTER ON SUSPENSION

Press Release
Evanston, IL
August8, 2002

At its August 2, 2002, meeting, the Sigma Chi Fraternity's Executive Committee (EC) voted to suspend the Fraternity’s Theta Phi Chapter at the California State University – San Luis Obispo. For the last two years the undergraduate chapter has suffered from disciplinary troubles with its host university and the General Fraternity. The chapter’s final incident was a serious violation of the Sigma Chi Policy on Alcohol and Drugs. This violation evidenced the chapter’s failure to abide by the Fraternity’s policies and expectations of high-minded, gentlemanly behavior. After review, the EC decided to indefinitely suspend the chapter.

The Sigma Chi Fraternity is resolved in holding its chapters accountable to all policies, both its own and those of its host institutions.

There are currently 222 undergraduate chapters across North America, and more than 100 alumni chapters throughout the world.

The national never ven called us. They are being bugged now by press.

According to an article posted Wednesday, February 2, 2005 on the San Luis Obispo Tribune web site, a gag order prevents discussing the case.

I will be curious to see how they respond now that Brian's death has been considered a crime.

While the case may still be open, according to the article, no criminal charges have been filed. Again, there is a gag order in place. As such, I would anticipate that EC will continue to be legally bound to not comment.

And while I can not- nor do I care to - speak for the EC, I will end and say that I am confident that the EC continues to look forward to a quick and just resolution. As we all do.
