sig eps - pikapp
by: LawsuitIf that suit turns out to be true, then all of Hipps' pledge brothers should be ostracized for obstructing justice. Dependent on how this case plays out, Pi Kapp might be better balling all the Sig Eps they took.

The above link is the recent article regarding the lawsuit aganist Sig Ep, Three members and the University.
The family of Tucker Hipps filed a wrongful death lawsuit Monday against Hipps' fraternity, three fraternity brothers and Clemson University seeking $25 million in damages stemming from his September death.
The lawsuit contends that a fraternity brother had a confrontation with Hipps just before the Clemson freshman "went over the railing of the bridge into the shallow waters of Lake Hartwell head first." The suit alleges a cover-up by Hipps' fraternity brothers in the aftermath of his disappearance and the discovery of his body that afternoon in Lake Hartwell near the State 93 bridge.
"Tucker Hipps's death was a senseless and avoidable tragedy," Hipps' parents Gary and Cynthia said in a statement.
"The culture of hazing and inappropriate conduct by social fraternities must be stopped. Universities and fraternities must make change from within to protect their own. Cynthia and Gary Hipps have filed these lawsuits in the hopes that change will happen and that no other parent will feel the pain that they have been forced to endure. Tucker lost his life, but we must not let it be in vain.
Clemson University spokeswoman Cathy Sams said, "Although we haven't yet been served, we are aware that it has been filed. It is university practice not to comment on pending litigation."

I think this issue is a bit bigger than how frat Pi Kapp wants to be. Probably something to do with their association to an ongoing wrongful death case.
