And an excerpt:
Chip Adams, a Murray State and Sigma Chi alumnus who participated in the chapter’s internal investigation, said the hazing contained no instances of physical or emotional abuse.
However, he said tasks traditionally required of pledges, including taking down the house flag at the end of the day, violated University policy and are considered hazing.
Mike Maxwell, chapter adviser, said the allegations do not fit a typical definition of hazing.   “If you say ‘hazing’ on campus to somebody, the type of things that they consider hazing don’t fit your typical mind-frame,” Maxwell said.
Maxwell said the chapter has cooperated with the University nonetheless.
“The University presented a list of allegations toward us,” he said. “We did an internal review. We worked within University guidelines. We worked with University officials to identify and evaluate the type of activities that they were concerned about. We have addressed them.”
Maxwell said he agrees the chapter is at fault and he believes the University could do a better job informing the campus of its policies.
