Fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon’s National Board of Directors voted to leave the North American Interfraternity Conference early this month, according to a news release from the national chapter. After four years of membership to what is referred to as NIC 2.0, the NIC’s redrafting of policies and procedures, Sigma Phi Epsilon decided to leave due to a cut in resources and staffing to the NIC’s health and safety initiatives, according to the Nov. 7 release. “It’s clear that SigEp’s vision for how to enhance health and safety in the fraternity experience and partner with our host institutions has diverged from the NIC’s cur-
rent approach,” said Sigma Phi Epsilon Chief Executive Officer Brian Warren in the release. “At SigEp, we must deploy resources in ways that achieve our priorities.”

Sigma Phi Epsilon’s priority is the health and safety of its members, said Keaton Dornath, the University of Kansas chapter
from South Korea who cooked traditional Korean dishes for her and her older brother. “We grew up cooking at a very young age,” Emily said.

Dornath, who also sits on the national board for the fraternity as a student, said the NIC’s resources for member safety did not align with what the fraternity envisioned. “SigEp’s mantra is to be different, and with that being said, we looked at the situation and looked at how the NIC was handling some issues, not only here at KU but also some other institutions,” Dornath said. “Often times, their rhetoric didn’t always match what they did.” The NIC responded to Sigma Phi Epsilon’s departure in a news release. It said it rejected the fraternity’s assertion the NIC did not promote safety for fraternity members and were offended in Continue on page 2

The Bap Stop, a local food truck, is bringing traditional Korean-style food to the Lawrence community. All food served is free of gluten and monosodium glutamate (MSG), which owner and KU alumna Emily Henry said she was adamant about. Emily discovered she was gluten and MSG intolerant about ten years ago after she was getting a
lot of migraines. She said she ate a lot of Korean food growing up and didn’t want to stop eating the food she loved to cook. Because of this, she figured out a way to make traditional-style Korean food that is gluten and MSG free. Her husband, John Paul Henry, worked with her on the food truck in its beginning. “I’m not going to serve something to people that I can’t eat,” Emily said. A Lawrence native, Emily said she was inspired by her mother
The menu consists of rice bowls, and bap in Korean means rice, which is how Henry thought of the name of the food truck. “What we’re really striving to do is to stay as traditional and close to our roots as possible,” Emily said. The most popular dish from the menu is the spicy pork belly marinated in homemade sauce called gochujang, she said. The Bap Stop started participating in local events last June. Some of the events the food truck participated in include the Lawrence Summer Brew Fest at Abe & Jake’s Landing, Lawrence Fall Continue on page 4
