"We've not had any dealings with the hazing statute previously," Lowe said. "We want the State Attorney's Office to let us know whether it meets the elements."

Re: Sig Ep in trouble
I dont care to get into or defend the details of what happened nor do I condone hazing but I will say this…I believe the sole reason I have the pride for FAU that I do is because of my involvment in Sig Ep and Greek Life as a whole. Most of my friends that I still have years later are an outcome of that organization. I know that a lot of us still attend a ton of sportings events, are involved in the alumni association, and donate to the University. I dont think what happened is truly symbolic of what Sig Ep at FAU is all about and for that reason I dont think "shutting down" the chapter will do any good. The situation should be handled and the students involved reprimanded but the chapter should remain open in order to provide the opportunity for students like me who had a great time at FAU learning to love the University and build friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
Finally, not to justify the actions of the few involved…but if a few kids on the football team get caught stealing or doing drugs would it make sense to "shut down" the football program….no. You handle the situation with those few players and the program moves on.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Re: Sig Ep in trouble
I have to agree with this I am a member of Delta Tau Delta(newer fraternity on campus) came on spring 09 I agree kicking sig ep off would do no good they are a strong chapter at FAU and do a lot of good for the school also they have been one of the most respectful fraternity to us since we started on campus. This stuff happening at FAU dose no good for FAU or for Greek life when i think all Greeks in no matter what chapter they were in just want to see it grow and get better.walty12 said
I am a Sig Ep myself and am dissapointed with this whole situation.

Re: Sig Ep in trouble
from the story it seems like they just dont have the know how to investigate this matterRick said
Just an observation, but does the fact that FAU PD closed their case leans towards not having enough to charge anyone, and that the forwarding of the case to the State for review is an accuracy checkpoint??
