With two seconds left in regulation and the game knotted at 62 apiece, Elon senior guard Austin Hamilton launched an open jumper from the free throw line to win the game, but it fell just short, hitting the front of the rim, the backboard and teasing the Elon bench before it fell off the rim.

Kappa Sigma new member activities suspended

By Caroline Fernandez

All new member activities in Elon University’s Kappa Sigma, Lambda-Lambda chapter have been suspended, according to an email from Smith Jackson, vice president for student life. Jackson said the suspension was in response to an investigation involving new members in the fraternity who were found by police in a Virginia cemetery early in the morning March 4. When the students were approached they told the police they were there to pay their respects. The cemetery in Abingdon, Virginia– a town of around 8,000 people that is approximately three hours northwest of Elon – is home to one of Kappa Sigma’s founders. Jackson said the group did not damage property but was cited for trespassing in the cemetery. This marked the third incident in four months involving an Elon fraternity. In November, Sigma Pi was issued a three-year suspension for hazing and Pi Kappa Phi is currently under investigation for alleged hazing.
