Another LSU fraternity has been shut down, this time in a move prompted by national fraternity leaders who deemed the chapter "unsafe." The LSU chapter of Lambda Chi was closed officially this past Sunday after a vote of the fraternity's board of directors. "Based on the recent chapter history, the fraternity Board concluded that the chapter was unsafe and didn't promote a healthy environment or one conducive to learning or personal development" the fraternity wrote in a statement. "Under the terms of the closure, no individual may represent Lambda Chi Alpha or the Upsilon chapter in any manner on the Louisiana State University campus, including social events, intramurals, and the Inter-Fraternity Council." A spokesman for the organization said the chapter, which had been placed on probation for repeated violations, failed to meet the terms of its probation as imposed by the national headquarters. "This extended failure prompted the Board's vote and decision to close," said Lambda Chi national spokesman Tad Lichtenauer, adding that the chapter's history of violations played a key factor. LSU spokesman Ernie Ballard said the university was contacted by Lambda Chi's national organization about the decision on Oct. 9. A meeting took place with the students of Lambda Chi on Oct. 22 to let them know about the decision. There were 14 active members of the fraternity.
