The Greek life chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) at the University of Denver was suspended after a review of its conduct over the past five years. The SAE house is now empty as members living there have been released from their on-campus housing requirement. The university is determining how best to utilize the SAE building, which will remain intact. SAE will be eligible to petition for re-colonization no earlier than Fall 2017 for a start date no sooner than Winter 2018.

1. This past quarter, the Greek
life Chapter Sigma Alpha
Epsilon (SAE) was suspended
from the University of
Denver’s Fraternity and
Sorority Life.

2. The SAE house is now
empty as the
members living in the
house have been
released from their
on-campus housing
requirement.

3. The University is in the
process of determining how
the SAE building will be
utilized best, and they can
confirm that the building will
remain intact.

4. Administration made
the ultimate decision to
remove the SAE Chapter
from campus after
reviewing SAE’s chapter
conduct code over the
last five years.

5. The Administration building,
where the offices of the people in
charge of the suspension decision
are located; a building which
holds those who make the final
decision in all campus related
actions.

6. The SAE house left its members
with many positive memories and
provided a brotherhood
community.

7. Brothers of SAE reflect on the
wonderful location of the SAE
house as it was a central
location on campus.

recognition and support for the loss of SAE. To
this end, the other Greek chapters on DU’s
campus have been upholding the values to
which their organizations were founded.

and supportive House Corporation
Board and Alumni Advisory Board that
has been approved by the University is
one of the steps to begin petitioning for
re-colonization.

fraternity to provide an Educational
Leadership Consultant for no less
than 10 weeks on campus to assist
with recruitment efforts and the
subsequent new-member period is
another step in the petition
process.

colonization of SAE at the University of Denver.

colonization at
