Greek life at Willamette came under intense scrutiny in 2013 for a series of leaked messages on a private Sigma Chi Facebook group. The messages were sexist in nature and included demands for Sigma Chi brothers to "invite any girl who has a pulse" to an upcoming house party and that "women's rights are the biggest joke in the US." The messages also included sexually threatening language about a school administrator. As a result, the fraternity lost its house and was forced to move off campus. When asked for a comment by the Statesman Journal, Sigma Chi's National Executive Director Mike Dunn said that the fraternity “completely support[s what the school has done.” Sigma Chi's Salem chapter later voted to expel 12 members of the fraternity involved in the abusive and misogynistic messages.
