OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY STUDENT
NOLAN BURCH
We are distraught and saddened by the news about West Virginia University student Nolan Burch.
Kappa Sigma is still investigating the circumstances surrounding the event. This proves difficult, as the
operations of this chapter have been suspended since mid-October, due to previous, unrelated violations
of Kappa Sigma’s Code of Conduct. Subsequently, the chapter and school were notified on Monday,
November 10, prior to the event in question, that the group’s charter had been withdrawn and its
operations had been closed.
While we investigate, the Fraternity is focused on working with the university to ensure that the proper
support and counseling is available to the individual members of our former chapter.
Kappa Sigma will not be able to have any further comment on this matter until all investigations are
completed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Burch family, the West Virginia University
community and the young men of our former chapter as they cope with this tragedy.
