Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi, Phi Sigma Kappa,
Theta Chi and Alpha Sigma Phi are unhappy with the crackdown on fraternity life
by West Virginia University.
Five fraternities that formed their own Independent
Fraternity Council have been banned from campus for at least 10 years.
The national headquarters of these
fraternities are unhappy that WVU banned recruiting new members till spring to
give new students a chance to get used to college life before deciding where to
party.
And requires a fraternity to average a 2.75
grade point average, which is about a C+, not exactly a high bar, to remain on
campus.
WVU tightened its rule in 2015 after Nolan
Burch died during an alcohol binge at a Kappa Sigma initiation ritual.
Later, six Sigma Chi members were
arrested by police for hazing activities involving alcohol.
In 2013 Phi Kappa Psi got booted from
campus after hazing ended up in a pledge getting a concussion and retiring
stitches.
