Sigma Sigma Sigma Closes Missouri State U. Chapter

[KSUViolet06]

This chapter is an unfortunate loss for Sigma, however all chapters must follow our social event, alcohol, and hazing policies accordingly. Hopefully they can return at some point in the future.

Wow, this is amazing for a SSS Chapter and almost unheard of in thier fine Sorority!

It seems as though The New Missouri State University (SWMO) has have problems with hazing or other violations, usually Fraternities!

I echo Jocelyn's comments. While it is wonderful to have a chapter with such a rich history, there can be no allowances for behavior that does not comply with the policies of the sorority. I hope that this chapter is able to return in the future as well. I am sure there are many women who could gain a positive sorority experience through Tri Sigma at this school when done safely as many women have done before them for 50 years.

It is always sad to lose a chapter, but I have nothing but respect for Sigma Sigma Sigma and their high standards.

I agree.

Another news article gives a few more details on the background:

Beautiful house. It's a shame some of the members who are quoted are defensive, instead of realizing exactly what their actions have cost them, MSU, and Tri Sigma. I hope actives of all GLOs are paying attention - what seems like minor fun to you might have severe consequences.

Are all the houses there built like that? (Obviously this question is for someone familiar with the school.) Everytime I've seen pics of our house(s) there, they look more like a big family house than the traditional type house like SSS has.

It's probably more stupidity than a lack of love for Tri Sig. These women probably won't even admit to themselves that they were wrong, whether they are too stupid, too embarrassed or to arrogant to see what they did was wrong. It is a shame when an entire group gets to be judged by the actions of a few. Hopefully this will teach other women who have thought of trying the same things that it's not in the best interest of themselves or their organizations to even atttempt to get away with it! I'm sure TriSig will be back stronger than ever when their suspension is over.

Funny you should ask...Some of the houses look nothing like that, and some of them are off the main row and renting old residential buildings. But all the sorority houses there are really nice.
