Three years before the University of Oklahoma severed ties with its chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon for chanting racial slurs, the University’s SAE chapter was thrown off campus for sexual misconduct and hazing incidents. 
LSU’s SAE chapter has been inactive since fall 2012. The Daily Reveille previously reported at the time that the fraternity could be reinstated in 2015, but SAE National Communications Director Matt Alaio said Wednesday he did not know when the chapter would be reinstated at the University.  
Oklahoma President David Boren suspended the fraternity Monday and ordered all members to vacate the fraternity house within 24 hours.  
Assistant Dean and Director of Greek Life Angela Guillory said she would need more information before she could urge similar action if the University was confronted with a similar situation.  
“[The] University [of Oklahoma] and SAE national organization have [more] information than I do, and [that is why] I am not able to give an appropriate response. Administrators at UVA acted without knowing the truth about the situation,” Guillory said, referencing the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity suspension at the University of Virginia last year after a Rolling Stone article accused a fraternity member of rape.
The LSU Code of Student Conduct for the general student population does not specifically forbid the use of racial slurs or acts of bigotry on campus.  
Under behavioral misconduct, the code has subsections for offenses including alcohol, complicity, computer misuse, disorderly conduct, disruption and obstruction, drugs, endangerment, providing false information, forgery, harassment, hazing, misuse of identity, offensive behavior, property misuse, tampering with safety devices and unauthorized entry, unauthorized solicitation, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, stalking, theft, unauthorized surveillance, violating rules and carrying weapons.
The subsection on offensive behavior defines “lewd, indecent, or obscene conduct, including, but not limited to, nudity or sexually explicit behavior that would reasonably be offensive to others.” 
Policy Statement One, the University’s equal opportunity policy, states the University will address discrimination and harassment complaints but will not infringe on constitutional rights — including free speech. 
Greek student leaders released a 25-word statement late Tuesday night expressing disapproval for Oklahoma SAE chapter’s actions, but they refused to discuss the racial atmosphere at University Greek houses or whether there have been incidents in the past.
“As the LSU Inter-fraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council and Greek Board of Directors, we do not tolerate discrimination in any shape or form,” the statement read.
