A Sacramento State fraternity was suspended for the rest of the semester and will be banned from next year?s Greek Week after a fraternity member streaked across the stage at a fundraising event for the Children?s Center.

According to witnesses, Marcos Munoz ran on stage with Delta Chi painted on his chest, wearing boxers and a baseball cap, and began to dance at Greek Sing, an annual event that is part of Greek Week.

Munoz pulled off his boxers and had only a sock on his genitalia.

A shocked audience including children from the Associated Students, Inc. Children?s Center watched as the sock fell off, while Munoz covered himself with his hands.

Witnesses said his fraternity brothers cheered him on before he finally got off stage.

The Student Activities Office immediately filed a complaint of public nudity and lewd behavior to the Interfraternity Council judicial review board against Munoz, and suspended his fraternity for the rest of the semester for cheering him on.

The IFC council monitors Greek club behavior and hands out punishment for violations of school or club codes.

“My two-year-old daughter witnessed the act and it was disturbing,” Heather Dunn Carlton, a former Greek adviser said. Dunn Carlton is now the assistant director of student activities.

Munoz? stunt cast a pall over what had been a successful week for campus fraternities and sororities who raised $10,000 for the Children?s Center and saw a thousand members participate during Greek week.

Director of Student Activities Lou Camera wrote a letter to Delta Chi chastising the fraternity for their poor behavior.

“We concluded a very positive Greek week, that will not be tarnished by actions of one fraternity or one member, who will not go unpunished,” Camera said.

According to Camera, his office could file formal charges with the police, as could any other person in the audience who was offended.

The IFC addressed the complaint last Thursday in a closed session, with a videotape of Munoz? stunt as key evidence.

The IFC?s judgment, which is subject to university approval, requires at least 80 percent of Delta Chi members to perform a total of 30 hours of community service work by the end of the year and bans them from participating in Greek Week next year. The fraternity is on “social probation” and will pay for a speaker for a forum on sexual abuse in the fall.

“We expect that fraternities will be responsible for their members? actions, and it is unfortunate that one fraternity can ruin the reputation all fraternities,” said IFC President Joe Patterson.

Munoz, who is not enrolled at Sac State this semester, will also face an internal trial within Delta Chi and could be expelled or moved to inactive status.

“The deal is over, we want to get past this,” said Delta Chi President J.R. Cottle.

Camera said he hoped the actions of one person didn?t damage the image of all Greeks.

“Some people are not indicative of the positive things Greeks do on campus. There are a few bad eggs, and we are working within the system to eliminate them,” Camera said.
