FYI: IHQ has been working with Radford since mid February regarding Kappa Zeta chapter.

Kappa Zeta at Radford University Examined

Evanston, Ill. – The Sigma Chi International Fraternity disclosed today [March 1, 2007] that it has been working closely with Radford University officials and the Kappa Zeta chapter of Sigma Chi for the past two weeks to examine recent allegations of hazing by a previously affiliated pledge. The chapter proactively reached out to university officials in mid-February to ensure that their actions and traditions were in line with university and Sigma Chi policies. As a standard precautionary measure, the university placed the chapter on temporary suspension of chapter activities while further research was conducted.

I am sure many things are blown out of proportion via the media and is perceived much worse than really is was or can be!

I have a great respect SX as I do for all GLOs and if there are some who do not follow the rules then they should be investigated and delt with.

It only hurts the GLO!
