The ATO Chapter House was evacuated Sunday night August 28th due to concern over the structural safety of the house related to a possible failure of a main support beam in the basement. Live-in Chapter members were put up at the Kellogg Center, courtesy of the Red Cross. The E. Lansing Fire Department, City of E. Lansing, MSU Student Affairs, ATO Headquarters, and the landlord Alpha Xi Delta have all been informed and involved in this matter. Inspections and assessments are being made as to what corrective action needs to be taken to permanently repair the foundation and insure the safety of the facility. An estimate for the time of completion is not yet available, but we hope to have an update very soon.
