Ole Miss Kappa Sigma Charter Revoked (Appeal Possible)

According to a news report, Kappa Sigma has voted to revoke the charter of its chapter at Ole Miss. An appeal is possible.
Brief excerpts from the longer article are below. The whole article is at

http://www.djournal.com/pages/story....pub=1&div=News

The Kappa Sigma Supreme Executive Committee voted July 6 to revoked the chapter's charter because of a 2005 incident involving alcohol. Mitchell B. Wilson, the national executive director, said the chapter was sanctioned in 2004, and when the probation was violated, they had no choice but to pull the charter.


"The Ole Miss chapter of Kappa Sig was put on probation in 2004 because of an incident where an individual had alcohol at a rush event," explained Wilson. "The incident that lead to the charter's closing actually happened in the spring of 2005. We learned that during that time they had an event where alcohol was present, which clearly violated the probation."

. . . Sparky Reardon, Ole Miss dean of students, said because the chapter's suspension wasn't done by the university, he didn't have any comment and directed all questions to the national office.


. . . The chapter has 30 days to appeal the decision. If the decision is not overturned, the chapter could be off campus two or three years.
