My understanding.
- The Gamma Delta Chapter of Sigma Chi Fraternity is active and recognized by Oklahoma State University and by Sigma Chi Fraternity. Gamma Delta Chapter has an adviser.
- There is an “underground group” of men that allegedly may include, but may not be limited to, former members of Sigma Chi and one current member. This “underground group” is not recognized by, or associated with, Sigma Chi Fraternity nor recognized by Oklahoma State University. Nor is this “underground group” known to have an adviser.
- The “underground group” misled a local licensed vendor into printing shirts that included the use of the Norman Shield and the Sigma Chi founding date. Again, none of this was approved by Sigma Chi Fraternity or the Gamma Delta Chapter.
- The Gamma Delta Chapter adviser informed the Oklahoma State Greek Community about the shirt and that it is in no way associated with the Gamma Delta Chapter or Sigma Chi Fraternity.
For what it is worth, I am confident that Sigma Chi Fraternity is investigating this matter.
