Excerpts from article in the Evergreen:

Five Delta Chi members were arrested Tuesday for a fight in late October that sent a man from another fraternity to a Seattle hospital.

. . . The charges stem from an Oct. 27 assault . . . in which the five allegedly fought with two members of the Theta Chi fraternity. One Theta Chi member suffered three fractures of his jaw . . . . The 20-year-old could have permanent nerve damage from the altercation, according to the police.

The arrests were the culmination of a monthlong investigation . . . .

Delta Chi President Branden Daubel said the fraternity’s judicial process is moving forward, along with a university Student Conduct investigation. The chapter is consulting with alumni and the national organization to decide what should happen with the members.

“There’s definitely people not coming back to the house next semester,” Daubel said. . . .
