UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa — Another Penn State Fraternity is suspended following what university officials describes as 'violations of COVID-19 policies'.
Officials say Sigma Chi located on Prospect Ave. in State College is now suspended after hosting a large maskless gathering.
The fraternity's party went against the State College boroughs COVID-19 ordinance and the university's separate COVID-19 guidelines as well.
This is not the first time the fraternity has found themselves in COVID-19 trouble, they were placed on interim suspension back in October, and now they will continue that way through 2024.
Vice President of Student Affairs Damon Sims says, "Despite multiple opportunities in recent years to correct various behaviors, the Sigma Chi chapter blatantly ignored clear guidelines about large gatherings during the pandemic."
According to the list of suspended chapters on Penn State's website, Sigma Chi is now one of 11 who have had their privileges lost.
On Monday, the fraternity posted on their Instagram writing quote, "What you do in life by yourself doesn't mean as much as what you accomplish with a group of people. Proud to be a Sigma Chi."
