Phi Kappa Psi Statement Regarding Texas State University Death

Indianapolis, Nov. 14, 2017 – “We are heartbroken by the death of Texas State University student and Phi Kappa Psi new member Matthew Ellis,” said Phi Kappa Psi Executive Director Mark Guidi. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and the entire TSU student body during this difficult time.”

The chapter had been suspended by Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, Inc. last week for unrelated matters, and will remain suspended while the investigation continues. Phi Kappa Psi will continue to work closely with the TSU administration and law enforcement during their review of this matter, and have advised all members to cooperate fully.
