Alpha Sigma Tau Closes Gamma Chi Chapter

For Immediate Release
October 16, 2015

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – The National Council of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority has unanimously voted to close the Gamma Chi Chapter at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey. The closure is effective immediately and is a result of the chapter’s violation of the Sorority’s anti-hazing policies.

“Alpha Sigma Tau is committed to a safe and positive member experience, so we take allegations of hazing very seriously,” said Jim Paponetti, the Sorority’s Executive Director. ”Following an investigation, chapter closure was determined to be the most appropriate course of action.”

Alpha Sigma Tau is a proud sponsor of the anti-hazing hotline that provides an anonymous telephone line for anyone to report a suspected or recent hazing incident. It is 1-888-NOT-HAZE.

About Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority – Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority was founded November 4, 1899, at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Since then, the Sorority has prided itself on continually promoting the ethical, cultural, social, and professional development of its members – even during times of more limited opportunities for women. Alpha Sigma Tau envisions a world where women are always empowered to excel in life.
