Sigma Chi sued George Mason university following its 10 year suspension of the chapter
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Is 10 year suspension too heavy a punishment for hazing? Sigma Chi decided to sue George Mason University, and to seek declaratory relief and money damages. The suspension was triggered not by a single by a series of events, which included alleged sexual assault on underage girls. The list of charge includes:
1) Hazing - 8:30 a.m. on Dec. 7, 2005, in the area of Fenwick Library on the George Mason Campus
2) Providing alcohol to minors – Sept. 7, 2005
3) Underage consumption of alcohol – Sept.7, 2005
4) Sponsoring a party under conditions that resulted in sexual assaults on a female guest - Feb. 26, 2005 and Sept. 7, 2005
As of now, the chapter is unrecognized by the university. The row continues online with Sigma Chi supporters leaving angry comments on the Broadside website.
