In a resolution released March 2, the fraternity’s Zamboanga City branch declared members of its Adamson chapter persona non grata for “inflicting great violence” against Salilig, resulting in his death.
“[The] members of Adamson University Chapter have blatantly disregarded the Code of Conduct and Tenet of our beloved fraternity and sorority resulting in the untimely demise of one of our [brothers],” its resolution read.
“[The] members of Adamson University Chapter have blatantly disregarded the sanctity of life,” it further read.
