In Brief In Brief The Sigma Chi Nu sorority and Klan Alpine fraternity filed a suit Tuesday claiming the university denied the Greek organizations due process in making its decision. They also claim school administrators failed to follow the university's published guidelines and procedures for dealing with hazing violations and made decisions without substantial evidence. The university's board of trustees decided last year to prohibit fraternities and sororities, following the February death of Zeta Beta Tau member Benjamin P. Klein, 21, of Putney. Klein was found dead 100 yards from his fraternity house.

The trustees of the university cited cumulative troubles with the Greek houses as the reason they were shut down.

"He will be remembered by countless administrative colleagues, faculty members, and students whose goal in other College publications he has helped them achieve.
