The Sigma Rho chapter was suspended by Beta Theta Pi in September 2017. It was possible that the suspension would end after one year but the national fraternity announced on April 19, 2018 that the chapter will be closed at this time.
The reasons for the closure included several violations of the fraternity risk management policies.
News from the undergraduates in the fall semester of 2016 including the new pledge class, newly initiated brothers, new plans for the Beta house and the news that Sigma Rho has regained chapter status.
The spring semester was a busy one for the brothers of Sigma Rho and the summer of 2016 so far has been filled with exciting achievements and experiences. As the semester concluded, there is a lot to be proud of at 202 E. Daniel Street. We initiated 27 new brothers into our chapter and pledged 8 more during spring recruitment.
My name is Aaron Reinsbach and I am the currently Sigma Rho house president. Our fraternity is in the process of raising money for our philanthropic partner, The Andrew Weishar Foundation.
