SAE alumni take over, fraternity still suspended

Tuesday, January 19, 2010 - 1:23 AM


The university’s oldest fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, will remain under suspension until the Office of Student Conduct can review the final results of a pending investigation, Director of Student Conduct Sally Morgan said.

On Nov. 7, a 19-year-old female reported a sexual assault at 835 Evans Way, the SAE house, according to police records.

The following week, the fraternity was put on interim suspension, and police began investigating a “social event” held that night, fraternity member Mat Neben told the Nevada Sagebrush in December. At the time Neben said the fraternity was not looking into hiring a lawyer and was trying to be as cooperative as possible with the investigation and university administrators.

Shortly after the investigation began, SAE President Trenton Arlint was forced out of office by alumni because he was not following chapter rules strictly enough, Neben said.

Adam Garcia, director of the University of Nevada, Reno Police Department, confirmed that police are still investigating the fraternity and said it could continue “for a while.”

Members of the fraternity declined to comment on the progress of the investigation, but an alumnus at the fraternity’s house said alumni would be handling SAE’s leadership for the foreseeable future.

Too many things to think about fraternity
