LSU Sigma Chi fraternity closed by international organization and kicked off campus
The LSU chapter of the Sigma Chi fraternity — under investigation over the past month for hazing and substance abuse — will close for at least three years, the Greek organization’s leadership announced Friday.
LSU put the fraternity on interim suspension Nov. 3, embarking on a probe of allegations that the fraternity violated the university’s drug and hazing policies. While the university’s investigation isn’t completed, LSU on Friday announced that the school’s Sigma Chi chapter will not be allowed on campus through the end of 2018.
The university supports the fraternity’s decision to temporarily pull support for the chapter, LSU said in a news release.
“LSU has a long-standing relationship with Sigma Chi, and it’s unfortunate that this is the end result,” said Kurt Keppler, LSU vice president for student life and enrollment. “But we take any and all reports of incidents seriously and will not tolerate policy violations when it involves the health, safety and well-being of our students.”
