Radford: Probation for Hazing (Sigma Chi)

[Tom Earp]

I am sure many things are blown out of proportion via the media and is perceived much worse than really is was or can be!

I have a great respect SX as I do for all GLOs and if there are some who do not follow the rules then they should be investigated and delt with.

It only hurts the GLO!

Is the Sigma Nu Chapter still active?

[Kevin]

Nope, got caught hazing in '03.

Doesn't Radford have a History of being hard on Greeks?

This seems to be a trend for them.

Not sure, fill me in.

I went on a little road trip there in 2002 and the whole environment right of campus seemed very "animal house", fraternity and non-fraternity.

The streets right off campus seemed to all be rented to students and just a roaming party from one house to another. Even the sororities seemed pretty rough around the edges. When to a Sigma Kappa Sorority keg party and BT's Bar. Had I pretty good time except it was freeze cold with a foot of snow and ice.

Yeah pretty much how it was but not now. Fraterties can no longer charge money for entrance to parties. That is good in someways, bad in others.

There is a really bad history of the school being hard on greeks. It took almost three years to bring back the Phi Sigma Kappa chapter which was the first fraternity on campus. Everything seems to get blamed on the greeks even though they are 10 percent of the students.

yeah they blame us for everything

greek life was started for students to escape the faculty.

They are cracking down on everyone now though, because they are trying to be, as one admin type put it "the harvard of the south"

I laughed so hard when I heard that.
