Cornell (NY): Kappa Sigma Closes Chapter

[Hampton]

They weren't "dumbasses". I knew of what went on blow by blow. If you know anything about Kappa Sigma at Cornell you know that they are considered the most studious, responsible and serious-minded fraternity on campus. Kappa Sigma loses more chapters and colonies than any other fraternity. It isn't always everyone else's fault, sometimes it is the fraternity's national leadership.

They are looking at options but I highly doubt that you will see Kappa Sigma again at Cornell (any sooner than you will see them at Harvard, Dartmouth or Brown), or if it does come to Cornell it will be as a new group that would have to purchase a house and it would receive little support from the alumni.

There are some options I understand, that are on the table but that is their business.

Now Kappa Sigma is down to Penn in the Ivies, and I know for a fact those guys are seriously considering leaving. Kappa Sigma seems to be going backwards instead of coming out what I'm reading is a turbulent recent history. Best of luck.

Yes they were. They deliberately thumbed their nose at the rules and requirements given to them from National. They absolutely knew what they needed to do to get off probation and continue on in their good graces. Many chapters have successfully met these requirements and they are pretty much the same across the board. Cornell didn't want to meet them and didn't bother. And yes I believe they are "dumbasses" for doing so. They certainly do not represent the highest ideals of the Star and Crescent.

Off soapbox now.

While leaders in the chapter do not dispute these facts, they did express disappointment at how their national governing body found out about the incident.

Whiners. They were given more chances than a lot of chapters would have had yet they continued to do precisely what they wanted to do.
