OSU and Stillwater police arrested two members of the Sigma Chi fraternity on Tuesday and are looking for another.
Grant S. Allen, 22, was arrested for possession of drugs with intent to distribute, said Capt. David Altman of the OSU Police Department.
Travis D. Gullett, 20, was arrested for obstruction, Altman said.
Last semester, OSU police began investigations into drug distribution on campus, Altman said. Tuesday, OSU officers worked with Stillwater police officers to serve arrest warrants to several people based on investigations and undercover drug buys.
“We often work together and supplement each other’s resources,” Altman said.
Two of the warrants were served without incident, Altman said.
For the third warrant, OSU police went to the Sigma Chi fraternity house because it was the address listed for Travis McKinley, 21, a member of the fraternity, Altman said.
McKinley was charged in Payne County last February with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, according to Oklahoma State Courts Network.
When officers arrived, they were told that McKinley didn’t live there anymore and had moved to a house on the 1800 block of west 10th street, Altman said.
Officers warned the men to keep it quiet and immediately left for the house on 10th street, Altman said. When officers arrived, there were three people at the house and police saw two men load drugs, safes and containers into three vehicles.
Police arrested Allen and Gullett at the house, Altman said.
All three men are members of the Sigma Chi fraternity, said Ival Gregory, OSU Fraternity and Sorority Affairs manager. But Gregory said he’s confident that those men were acting as individuals, not as members of the fraternity.
The Sigma Chi fraternity house could not be reached for comment.

To “Your Worst Nightmare”, it is a matter of public record that the events reported upon actually happened, and all information within this article is true. To my knowledge, no retraction was ever printed either. So what’s the motive?
I really do not see what the boys' affiliation with Sigma Chi has to do with them selling, using, or possessing drugs. If they had been non-Greek students I am sure the article would have left out any other organization that they boys happened to be involved with. Seriously, the only credible mention of Sigma Chi in the entire article was that it was listed as a residence for one of them that didn't even live there anymore. The hidden agenda here is obvious. I guess when you write for a C grade college paper that people only pick up to check their horoscopes or to make a language notebook you have to get the papers off the shelf somehow. Congratulations you not only made the entire O'Colly look biased, you also made yourself look like an idiot.
Best wishes.
No shamefaced outcast ever sank so deep,
But yet might rise and be again a man!
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast?
Dost reel from righteous retribution's blow?
Then turn from blotted archives of the past,
And find the futures pages white as snow.
Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell!
Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven;
Each morning gives the wings to flee from hell,
At sunrise a star to guide thy feet to heaven!"Opportunity, By Walter Malone (1866-1915)
