I'd like to see HQ put more money into recolonization and expansion.

They've been on probation for a while now, pending an investigation by the university. They have been quite open about hazing as of late and apparently a resident of a house behind them got them on video. Thank god that video didn't get out to the hype-happy media here in Houston and deal another blow to the already weak Greek system here. We've just now got the administration on good terms with us and things are starting to turn around.

My one of my friends from high school is a Sigma Nu at Texas State and when he came down to visit a few years back we went to their house. They were understandibly cold to me after I told them I was a Sig Ep but they weren't exactly thrilled my friend was there either. I cant honestly complain about the condition of there house considering we are at the Bayou Oaks travesty but it was pretty torn up for being only 7 years old.

I guess they thought they could get away with anything seeing as how they were the only fraternity with an actual house and a very active alumni base. Hopefully they will be able to keep their house for an eventual return in a couple of years. We need good fraternities on this campus and the closing this chapter by Sigma Nu and not the university truely makes yall much better off for a return.

The Sigma Nu house at U of H was once a local organization. Perhaps they'll just take up their original moniker?

I seem to recall LBJ being a member of that local organization before it joined Sigma Nu.

All of the original fraternities were local prior to 1956 but LBJ went to Texas State.

Alright.. I heard somewhere he was a member of a local which later joined SN. Thought it was U of H. Guess not.

I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to discuss openly, but from what I heard my hubby talking about with his 'little bro'...who's (blood) brother is an active, they were talking about taking an 'unofficial' status. Hubby laughed that off as being stupid and 'pretending'. A comparison was also made to TKE doing the same thing after they had their charter pulled. They were there but not recognized. He won't talk about it, he's really disappointed that it happened.

Whoever mentioned the house, my husband was one of the first to live in it. It was so beautiful. But, seriously, how nice could it have stayed with a bunch of boys who don't know how to pick up after themselves? They probably should have made some rules and punishments for not taking care of it. The ladies bathroom was probably the cleanest place in there!

It's kind of sad really.. One of the guys from my chapter was good friends with some guys from down there. They seemed like decent folks.

Isn't this kind of the problem? The chapters that do haze...we all know they are out there...don't just decide one year, "HEY! Let's haze the snot out of the pledges this year! Wouldn't that be fun?" They are 'maintaining' the traditions of the chapter. Someone did it to them, and so on. My dad was hazed as a pledge. He's almost 60 now, and his chapter was pulled 20 years after he graduated for hazing.
