Today’s News


The Sigma Chi house, pictured above, belongs to a University of Nebraska-Lincoln fraternity that was plagued by charges of hazing and underage drinking. In September of 2009, after multiple lawsuits against them were filed, the Sigma Chi fraternity chapter received some of the toughest sanctions ever imposed on a Greek organization on University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s campus. Members were no longer allowed to be recognized as an official Greek organization, hold activities or events, nor live in the house – located at 1510 Vine St. – until 2014. In more recent years, a freshman student committed suicide citing to others that fraternity hazing pushed him to the decision. The student’s family filed suit in 2019 against Lambda Phi Epsilon following the 18-year-old’s death. Nearly every state now has an anti-hazing law, including Nebraska, but enforcement and penalties vary widely. (Kristin Streff / Lincoln Journal Star via AP)
