Dear Greek Alumni,
My name is Penny Rue, and I am the vice president for campus life at Wake Forest. I came to Wake Forest last summer, succeeding Ken Zick, and it is my privilege and responsibility to oversee and mentor Greek life on campus.
Depending on your chapter affiliations or how closely connected you remain to Wake Forest, you may be aware that the national leaders of both Kappa Sigma and Sigma Nu recently suspended the charters of their Wake Forest chapters for violations against their national fraternities' policies. Wake Forest's own investigations of both fraternities concluded that violations of University policies also had occurred, for which we have taken action. There is a possibility of recolonizing both chapters in the future, but no decisions have been made.
A healthy Greek system is vital to our campus culture, and the impact of societies, sororities and fraternities is tremendous. The Greek community at Wake Forest has succeeded in the classroom, given generously to their alma mater, and held a number of volunteer leadership positions at the University. That being said, Wake Forest cannot and will not tolerate hazing or other conduct violations, and will take appropriate steps to address such activities when they come to the attention of the University.
Along these lines, I invite you to read an op-ed I recently wrote for The Old Gold & Black underscoring Wake Forest's commitment to fostering a strong Greek culture. Our sorority and fraternity chapters need positive reinforcement from their alumni now more than ever, and I hope you will join me in supporting the kind of Greek system we want to succeed.
Sincerely,
Penny Rue
Vice President for Campus Life
