Sigma Chi places chapter at Towson University on Suspension
Sept. 30, 2011
Evanston, Ill.- The Sigma Chi International Fraternity's board of directors (Executive Committee) has voted to suspend the Kappa Pi chapter at Towson University. The General Fraternity suspended the chapter due to various repeated violations over the last few years.
The Executive Committee voted to suspend the chapter's charter for an indefinite period of time.
Dennis Santoli, Sigma Chi's Grand Consul, or international president, released this statement shortly after the decision: "Our personal commitment, and the commitment of the General Fraternity to the ideals we profess in our Ritual, requires that we hold each other accountable for actions that do not support the mission, values, and virtues of Sigma Chi. The decision to suspend [the] charter was made only after every other possible avenue was explored, and, ultimately, found [to be] inadequate."
The Sigma Chi International Fraternity is resolved to holding its chapters accountable to all of its policies.
The Sigma Chi International Fraternity was founded on the ideals of friendship, justice and learning at Miami University (Ohio) in 1855. Its mission is to be a value-based organization that stresses the character development of each of its members. There are 239 undergraduate Sigma Chi chapters and 126 Sigma Chi alumni groups across North America.
