That is correct, Mike, and indicates the author might me a bit behind the curve as far as published information goes. The response from SigEp National Headquarters is admirable and hopefully will result in the members not being burdened with a misguided judgment.

However, his main point is that the greater injustice is that all the members of the chapter are being sued for no other reason than THEY ARE ALL MEMBERS OF A FRATERNITY - without regard to whether they actually were involved in the incident. As he pointed out, if this had happened with another organization it is doubtful that all members would end up named in a lawsuit.

Here is the post from earlier this week with the news of the lawsuit: http://www.sigepblog.org/2014/01/86-sig-ep-member...

That should get you up to speed.

Update: using Google maps I did find a listing for a SigEp Founders plaque at the corner of Ryland St. and West Grace Street. That is, I believe, in the Monroe Park VCU campus. The street view was good enough to see the column and plaque but not good enough to get a good capture of it. Perhaps someone in Richmond could provide a usable picture?

Ryland hall is still standing and is on the campus of the University of Richmond. I don't have any information about it being part of VCU.
Ryland Hall - University of Richmond

One troubling bit of information is the building is listed as being constructed in 1914 - 13 years after the founding of SigEp. Also, between 1901 and 1914 the campus was apparently moved. Perhaps someone with more detailed local knowledge of Richmond's geography, the two colleges, and their various locations could offer more insight.

Roman,

Congratulations on your award! I'm glad to learn someone from one of "my" chapters got a scholarship. We will see you at Conclave. It will be a fantastic, never-forgotten experience. Your next task is to convince as many of your brothers as possible to join you.

Sam, I'd like to hear your architect's opinion on the Tennessee Alpha house. The house was built in the mid 60s, then underwent a major renovation two years ago and reopened in the fall of 2011. Even my un-tutored eye can tell it is NOT in the "Plantation" style.

Steve, Sorry about that. The links should be working now.
Thanks for pointing out the issue.

Charles,

There are several ways to do that.  Although the blog really does not have 'members' we have followers in several different social media applications
1. You can sign up on LinkedIn for the "Sigma Phi Epsilon (Official)" group. The group has over 15,000 SigEp members. 
2. On Facebook. Look for "SigEp Blog - Sanguine et Purpure" and "Like" us.
3. If You have a Google+ account add "S&P - the Unofficial SigEp Blog" to your circles.
4. Follow @SigEpBlog on Twitter.

Thanks for asking!

It is tough to tell from the video, but I am pretty sure it is Ball State.
