Written By: Chris Carter On October 29, 2012, the Grand Council of Sigma Pi Fraternity, International revoked the charter of the Epsilon-Phi Chapter at Embry-Riddle University in Prescott, Arizona.
Epsilon-Phi Chapter was closed for violations of both Fraternity, University and FIPG risk management policies. The chapter had three alcohol related conduct issues this year and has had a chronic problem unresolved for several years.
“Sigma Pi places a high value on our chapter standards with the expectation that each chapter will conform for the benefit of their members and the International organization,” said Executive Director Michael R. Ayalon.
Sigma Pi Fraternity has resolved to hold its chapters accountable for compliance with all Grand Chapter and University policies, FIPG guidelines, new member education policies, minimum standards on chapter membership, and adherence to the governing laws of the Fraternity.
Sigma Pi Fraternity was founded in 1897 at Vincennes University, in Vincennes, Indiana. Our headquarters is located in Brentwood, Tennessee. The Fraternity is one of the top men’s collegiate organizations in North America, with more than 120 active chapters and colonies in the United States and Canada. With nearly 95,000 alumni and 5,300 undergraduates; our men strive for excellence by living our core values to promote fellowship, develop character and leadership, advance heightened moral awareness, enable academic achievement, and inspire service. Sigma Pi is the only Greek letter organization with an international philanthropic program, The ACE Project, specifically designed to give back to our host institutions.
