Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

The Chi Phi Fraternity has become aware that men representing themselves as Members of the former Alpha Sigma Chapter at Princeton University have contacted one or more Chapters about holding an Initiation ceremony at their house. The Alpha Sigma Charter was revoked by the Court of the Grand Council effective March 10, 2012. Remaining Members of that group do not have authority to Initiate New Members into Chi Phi or to operate or represent themselves as a Chi Phi Chapter. No Chapter should host this group for an Initiation or any other purpose.
