To keep members accountable for their actions, sorority houses enforce conduct codes. But chapter presidents are reluctant to discuss individual policies outside the house.

It has been more than three months since Katie Robb falsely accused four black males of taking her from campus and raping her.

Robb, sophomore in journalism and mass communication, later said she made up the story. Robb was asked to leave her sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, 2239 Knapp St., after her admission.

She understands why Kappa Alpha Theta asked her to leave, Robb said, but she wishes it would have ended differently.

“They supported me in the beginning to the press and then asked me to leave,” she said.

In an article in the Oct. 5 Daily, Becky Sosalla, president of Kappa Alpha Theta, said Robb’s “membership was terminated” due to her actions. Sosalla, junior in mathematics, said members of the sorority are to have “high moral ideals” and “Katie’s actions were not in accordance.”

Kappa Alpha Theta declined further comment for this article.

Every house has standard codes of conduct to let members know the sorority’s ideals, said Panhellenic Council President Kelly Koeppel.

“Standard boards are committees, not judicial bodies, and they are in houses to keep things running smoothly and keep chapter members accountable for their actions,” said Koeppel, senior in child and family services.

Executive boards are made of different people from house to house, and not every board is the same, Koeppel said.

“These boards are not meant to scare members,” she said. “But they are like any other organization in the way that they deal with problems the way they feel is best.”

Sorority presidents who were contacted for this story to talk about the situation and their standard codes within their houses declined to comment for this story.

Interim Dean of Students for Greek Affairs Alisa Frandsen said she was not sure of the codes in each house and declined to comment about Robb and Kappa Alpha Theta.

Robb said she isn’t sure exactly what code she violated, but she said “the code shows the general idea of conduct that [Kappa Alpha Theta] upholds for their members.”
