WSU Sigma Nu Charter Revoked (Hazing)

[jksigmachi]

I realize that a lot of this thread was posted a while ago- In repsonse to Sigma Chi, the fraternity never actually shut down.

In 2004 two things happened:
1) the alumni did some "house cleaning" on some members who were engaging in some inappropriate activities
2) the house was condemned for safety reasons, and torn to the ground.

There was a brief fund raising drive, but when total membership in the chapter dropped to 3 people...well, construction of a new house was put on hold- indefinitely. The chapter never shut down, but growth has been slow (4 years later we have 10 people and two pledges).

Currently, Sigma Chi is located next door to Alpha Phi (in the small white house). The big parking lot in between this house house and pikes' is where the Sigma Chi chapter house used to be. The parking lot is maintained by Sigma Chi.

Update: According to the latest Sigma Nu Delta magazine, the Washington State (Delta Iota) chapter will be coming back on in the Fall of 2009.

Any WSU people around? What happened to their house?

Considering the amount of cash they have in it, the house corporation probably rented it out and will continue to do so until Fall '09 (unless they smartly had enough socked away to make the mortgage payments for a couple of years).

That's just speculation on my part.

"This house gives students the opportunity to live in a house with no alcohol, no drugs, no premarital sex, things like that".


I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Wow...that just blows my mind. I find it interesting that they list Muslims and Agnostics as potential residents, but not Jews or Hindus. It isn't a house for Christians, but for followers of Jesus...(paraphrased). Taking away the sleeping porch as a porch is sad, they had heated floors, and in the winter that is amazing.

Looks like they are going forward with the re-colonization this coming Fall ('09). Does that mean they are booting out those god people?

I'm guessing that the colony will form and with enough men return to living in the house in fall of 2010 with an established group.

BUT, the article from January said they were owners and bought the house, which seems odd considering getting land for a house is near impossible. Maybe it was a semantics error on the part of the Daily Evergreen reporter. Nu house is still operating this fall according to their website.
