Campus Greek News
Beta Theta Pi gets shut down

From the 12/8/09 issue of The Daily Illini...

The University Public Affairs office and the national Beta Theta Pi fraternity is confirming that the Sigma Rho chapter of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity on the University of Illinois campus has been shut down.

Tommy Carrato, president of the Interfraternity Council at UIUC says there have been instances where Beta Theta Pi has been in front of the IFC judicial board, but is unable to comment as to the details of the individual cases.

“Their national office decided to close their chapter, and decided to do so within the last week or so. The decision didn’t have anything to do with the Interfraternity Council or the University of Illinois Fraternity and Sorority Affairs Office,” Carrato said.

According to the national fraternity’s website, the chapter had been on probation.

Carrato said that because the Sigma Rho chapter is no longer affiliated with their national fraternity, they are no longer members of the IFC.

The future of one of the biggest Greek houses on campus is unclear. According to Carrato, because the national fraternity closed down the individual chapter, it is up to them whether or not to reinstate their charter and allow them to be on the University campus.
