Just to update everyone, I attended the SEC meeting this past weekend, October 11, in Portales, New Mexico.
As for the official proceedings, nothing truly earth shattering happened. The SEC voted to revoke the charter of Epsilon Nu and to expel all the current undergraduate members, which means they are no longer Kappa Sigmas. They will have an opportunity to apply for reinstatement on an individual basis at a future SEC meeting. I spoke to the panel briefly about the current state of the alumni chapter and let them know that we will be available to help with the future recolonization of the chapter.
I also spoke individually with members of the SEC and they assured me that Kappa Sigma is anxious to return to Southern Miss. Although no official timeline has been set, it will most likely be a longer absence from campus than stipulated by the university. Take that however you like, but I am confident that we will see Kappa Sigma back on campus in five years or fewer.

I find it surprising that the brothers of Epsilon Nu are not voicing opinions and making comments here. Does anyone care?

my son is an epsilon nu undergrad and has given me information about this situation from an insiders perspective. the undergrads are wanting to appeal the punishment from national because they feel that it was too harsh given the true facts of the situation. most of the media reports have been inacurate and untrue. these young men were given very little information on how to handle this situation, and most of the info they did get was not helpful. they conveyed to me that they would never do anything intentionaly to harm the fraternity that they still care deeply about, or cause harm to a guest in the house. they also feel that they did not get to accurately represent themselves to national. they know that there was wrongdoing on their part, and take responsibility for their actions, but again, they feel that the punishment is excessive for the facts in this case. they asked me to get the word out to the alumni that since they are learning how to do this as they go, they hoped that some of the chapter alumni could provide some guidence and assistance. there are too many details to go into here so if you want more info or have questions post back or e-mail cmo847@aol.com they tell me that they will give it their best effort to restore the chapter to its place as the best on campus. especially the last 2 classes that started out with great optimism but were never really given a chance to make further improvements to the chapter or become leaders themselves. i'll post later as i get more information on whats going on with the appeal and what we can do to help. please post back any questions comments or suggestions or e-mail me for info.
