Excerpt from story posted on web site of station WOWT, an NBC affiliate:

The Sigma Chi fraternity is now on a four-year suspension, effective May 1, 2009 and ending May 1, 2013. During the suspension, no one will be able to live in the fraternity house and no formal activities can be held there.

Officials say the last two years of the suspension will be held in abeyance, but only if the Alumni Board has a plan in place that includes regular house inspections. Recruitment of new freshman members would then be allowed in 2011.

EDITED TO ADD November 14 '09 Update:

Another member has been sentenced; a short article describes the plea bargain and agreed-upon penalties:
