Pullman Fraternity Hazing: WSU Sigma Chi Sanctioned — Your Student’s Rights Under Washington’s Sam’s Law You just read that Sigma Chi lost its recognition at Washington State University for a year. Maybe your son or daughter was a pledge this past fall. Maybe they came home different — quieter, jumpy, ashamed of something they won’t talk about. Maybe you drove them to Pullman Regional Hospital at 3 a.m. for alcohol poisoning and were told it was “just college.” Maybe you are the student, reading this on your phone in a dorm room on College Hill, and you are starting to understand that what they did to you was not a tradition.
