( CNN ) -- The University of Vermont 's chapter of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity has been closed after a survey surfaced online asking fraternity brothers whom they would rape . The national Sigma Phi Epsilon organization said it is `` indefinitely closing the chapter . '' `` Without suggesting that every member had knowledge of this questionnaire , the questions asked in the document are deplorable and absolutely inconsistent with our values , '' Brian Warren , the fraternity 's executive director , said in a statement . University of Vermont officials said they `` respect and support '' the decision . `` From the beginning of this unfortunate situation , the national representatives of Sigma Phi Epsilon have been thorough , respectful and very serious in investigating this matter , '' UVM Interim President John Bramley and Provost Jane E. Knodell said in a statement . The university said its investigation into the matter will continue and will likely take several weeks to conclude . `` We will gather all relevant information and examine it to determine whether policies or laws have been violated , and by whom , '' the UVM statement said . `` We hope that this will present an opportunity for productive interaction , respectful dialogue , and learning about sexual violence and rape culture and the causes underlying them . '' The national fraternity said it will collaborate with the university `` to consider the potential return to UVM at the appropriate time , which would occur only by mutual agreement . '' It added that `` any behavior that demeans women is not tolerated by the fraternity . '' `` SigEp will strengthen its efforts to provide college men with education focused on respect for women and the development of healthy inter-personal relationships , '' Warren said . CNN 's Marina Landis contributed to this report .
The local chapter of the fraternity is closed indefinitely , officials say . - A student at a nearby college was arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle drugs into campus. University of Vermont officials said they `` respect and support '' the decision .
