As Sigma Chi International Fraternity was in the process of finalizing its investigation into its chapter at Westminster College, the Fraternity became aware of multiple violations by chapter members of Sigma Chi’s Statement on Human Decency and Dignity. The Fraternity’s executive committee voted immediately to suspend the chapter indefinitely — it will not be reopening the chapter in the foreseeable future — and to expel the individuals involved.
“We have been working very closely with the administrators from Westminster College and we mutually agreed that both institutions do not stand for this type of behavior. When members do not align to our ideals and values we have no choice but to take swift and decisive action and close the operations. Additionally, individuals who were found to be guilty of initiating such behavior are being expelled from the Fraternity,” says 68th Grand Consul (International President) Michael Greenberg, ILLINOIS WESLEYAN 1982. “We have a values system that is centered on character development and gentlemanly conduct. Members who claim they will follow those principles and then choose to violate them will be held accountable for their violations of personal integrity and ethical conduct.”
Sigma Chi is one of the largest collegiate fraternities with undergraduate chapters at 241 universities and colleges and more than 240,000 alumni members.
