Memo says fraternity at risk

Sigma Alpha Epsilon's chapter at W&M has been suspended by the fraternity's national organization.

An incident last week in which a 17-year-old pledge showed up at Williamsburg Community Hospital with a bleeding head and a blood-alcohol level of 0.37 is threatening Sigma Alpha Epsilon's future at the College of William and Mary, according to a memo sent to alumni brothers.

The Daily Press obtained a copy of the memo from one of the recipients. The author of the memo is Michael Wymant, assistant executive director of the national organization's Philadelphia field office, who came to the campus recently to gather facts in the case. He said the organization has suspended the chapter for the time being.
