Beta Upsilon Chi is currently being investigated by the university due to allegations of hazing.
Because the organization is not a member of the Intrafraternity Council, the Office of Greek Life is not involved, and the Office of Student Conduct is investigating the case.
"The leadership of BYX is cooperating with the investigation. Until there is a determination and/or resolution to the matter, all other details remain confidential," said Interim Director of Religious Life Gary White.
The chapter president of Beta Upsilon Chi's Nu Chapter, junior Greg Wigger has released the following statement:
"The purpose of BYX is to establish brotherhood and unity among college men, based upon the common bond of Jesus Christ. Our chapter at Vanderbilt has always conducted itself — and will always conduct itself — in such a way as to witness to the saving, Gospel message of Jesus' death and resurrection. Because of our commitment to follow Jesus' example, we are cooperating fully with an inquiry into certain allegations that have been lodged anonymously against our chapter, and I have pledged to fully cooperate and collaborate with the Vanderbilt administration to ensure that our program of new member education complies with not only the letter but also the spirit of the University's various policies. The purpose of BYX continues to guide our chapter, and we ask for the prayers of our friends from throughout the University as we work to advance that purpose."
