Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s (SAE) Board of Directors has voted to suspend its Tennessee Tech chapter.
The decision comes two months after 23-year-old Paul Hamilton Ten Eyck, of Maryville, was found dead just off campus following an SAE event. Tennessee Tech ceased operations of the chapter the day after Ten Eyck’s death.
A press release from SAE indicates the chapter was suspended due to “health and safety reasons.”
The fraternity could be suspended up to four to five years, or until all current members have graduated. All undergraduate members have also been suspended from the SAE as well.
SAE said they and Tennessee Tech “remain optimistic” a new chapter can form at the conclusion of the suspension period.
