The University of Iowa chapter of Sigma Chi is under a school investigation for allegedly holding a party in violation of Gov. Kim Reynold's ban on gatherings of more than 10 people. The social event allegedly took place on March 28 and involved under-aged drinking and as many as 50 people. UI officials said the number of attendees, if accurate, was a violation of the "University and state of Iowa expectations to limit gatherings" during the pandemic.

Iowa City police received a report that more than 10 people had gathered at the Sigma Chi house at about 6 p.m. on March 28,
but an officer did not respond to the scene.

The UI chapter of Sigma Chi was one of several fraternities investigated in December 2018 for alcohol violations related to tailgate parties. But UI determined there was not a preponderance of evidence to support disciplinary action against the Sigma Chi chapter.

Sigma Chi's national leaders launched an investigation into the fraternity's possible rule violations in February. In response, the UI temporarily suspended the chapter. The UI confirmed Thursday that the national chapter was returned to its prior status following the February investigation.

3. Every state has a percentage that violate the rule

Even San Francisco is having thousands attend underground clubs. The beaches in Florida. Wish all 100 percent of the population would abide by the rule but there’s always 10 percent who won’t.
