Jade will also be honored as the first Sweetheart engraved on our new Sweetheart Trophy now being handcrafted by a fellow Sigma Chi in South Carolina. She is also the first to wear our beautiful Sweetheart Necklace crafted from a chain of pure gold and a vintage Sigma Chi ring donated by late brother David Allen (class of 1954) just before his passing into Chapter Eternal.

We have been so honored to have our current Sweetheart, Jade McShane, reign as our Centennial Sweetheart. INTERESTED IN ENTERING THE SWEETHEART CONTEST? CALL GUNNAR BEYER TODAY AT 50.

And then there is the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. The national fraternity and WSU will conduct hearings in January that could result in the chapter being closed, Kravas said.There are fraternity queens. "It appears this particular group of young men simply did not get the message about the university's resolve to change the culture in its fraternity houses and reduce illegal drinking and the dangers that accompany it," Kravas said in a release announcing the new sanctions. WSU began an extensive alcohol-abuse education and intervention program in residence halls and fraternities. In the wake of the riot, Kappa Sigma and two other fraternities each were fined $1,000, placed on social probation, required to have a live-in adviser and agreed to other sanctions that banned the use of alcohol for a year. Thorpe noted that about one-third of the house's 90 members have been suspended or expelled from the chapter since the May 3 riot, in which nearly two dozen law enforcement officers were injured. 23 and "there is a very, very high probability they will lose recognition from Kappa Sigma," Thorpe said. The chapter officers are scheduled to meet with the fraternity's international governing body Jan. Robert Thorpe, the fraternity's district adviser in Seattle and chairman of its alumni board of control, said he and other alumni support the university's actions. "But the ongoing problems, capped with the recent apparent criminal act, gave the university no options but to suspend the chapter." "Kappa Sigma fraternity has had a long history here at WSU, and closing a chapter is a serious action," he said. Kappa Sigma is already on probation because of its role in organizing the party that led to the riot, Gus Kravas said. Kappa Sigma fraternity's chapter will be suspended pending formal hearings into allegations that six underage members kicked in the door of a vacant apartment and threw a party involving alcohol, the school's vice provost for student affairs said.
