WESTERN CAROLINIAN NEWS November 17,1999 INVESTIGATION Continued from front Alpha fraternity. "Nothing at all like that," Sellers said. "I have drank alcohol at functions involving brothers and pledges. If you don't want to drink, then you just say I don't want to drink." Jason Pearce, director of communications for Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. in Indianapolis, stated that the national headquarters staff was aware of the allegations. "If these allegations are true, it very much angers me," Pearce continued. "Any members who are hazing through the use of alcohol will face a severe penalty." "Hazing that involves alcohol is the most serious," said Pearce. "We will investigate this matter. This is the most serious hazing allegation that can be made." Pearce said Lambda Chi Alpha was dedicated to fighting alcohol and drug abuse in society. "We fight these things every day," he said. "College students face the same abuse. If we can have some positive influence on our members then we have a benefit. "If they are not adhering to our principles, standards, and ideals then we are not interested in having them associated with Lambda Chi Alpha." According to Pearce, the national fraternity spends $400,000 "Any members who are hazing through the use of alcohol will face a severe penalty." -Jason Pearce, Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. director of communications a year on education and enforcement on alcohol abuse and hazing. Associate vice chancellor Bill Haggard said the incident is under close scrutiny by the university. "There is an ongoing investigation," he said. "At this point, there are not any facts to support a hazing allegation. I don't haye any witnesses in this case." Lambda Chi Alpha chapter president Victor Williford said "I'm not aware of [an investigation]. Dallas left school with some personal problems." Haggard said that if the allegations were proven to be true by first-hand evidence, then "it would be a very serious hazing violation. It would be comparable to the Delta Sigma Phi case. It would be a violation of university policy, fraternity policy, and state law." A former WCU fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi was shut down in 1997 after a case of forced alcohol consumption was brought to the attention of the university. The university and the national fraternity agreed to shut the chapter down in lieu of a formal hearing. When asked if the university would seek criminal charges against individuals who provided alcohol to an 18-year old, Haggard stated, "Yes, we would seek to initiate criminal charges." "If anyone has any information regarding the allegations in this story, please contact me," Haggard said. HAZING Continued from front tention." WCU policies on hazing are contained in "Greek Life: A Plan for Excellence," which was approved by the Board of Trustees on December 10, 1997. The policy states: "No chapter, colony, student or alumnus shall conduct or condone hazing activities." Hazing activities are defined as: "Any action taken or situation created, intentionally, whether on or off fraternity premises, to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. Such activities may include but are not limited to the following: use of alcohol... creation of excessive fatigue ... physical or psychological shocks ... engaging in public stunts and buffoonery ... morally degrading or humiliating games and activities ..." WCU policies also state, "No members, collectively or individually, shall purchase for, serve to, or sell alcoholic beverages to any minor (i.e., those under legal "drinking age"). Those same policies also state that "No alcohol shall be present at any pledge/as sociate member/novice program, activity, or ritual of the chapter." In addition to state law and university policies, Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., which eliminated the practice of hazing in 1972, passed a resolution at its 42nd General Assembly in 1988 "that prohibits chapters from purchasing or providing alcohol." "Lambda Chi Alpha cares about its members," said Jason Pearce, Director of Communications for the national fraternity. "Anything that jeopardizes the members is looked at by the national fraternity. Our investigation would be swift and quick. Any hazing incident is of deep concern to national headquarters because we are concerned about the safety of our members and their guests." The local chapter's adviser, Hayesville attorney Larry Ford, reacted strongly to the allegations. "If these incidents actually happened and I find out members of Lambda Chi Alpha participated in these incidents, those people will no longer be part of Lambda Chi Alpha," Ford said. "There is no place for this in Lambda Chi Alpha. I will personally take care of that."
