MOSCOW, IDAHO: Ethan Chapin, a member of Sigma Chi who died on November 13 along with three other University of Idaho students was remembered with a scholarship that was announced on November 29. One undergraduate member of the fraternity will receive funding from the Ethan Chapin Memorial Scholarship Fund every year in remembrance of the slain victim, reported Fox News.

Chapin was a freshman at the University of Idaho and a member of the Sigma Chi community. "We join the Gamma Eta Chapter in remembering a young man who was deeply loved and respected, as well as extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends and loved ones of Ethan, Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen," the Sigma Chi Foundation said in a statement. Approximately $57,000 of the $75,000 target has been raised for the Ethan Chapin Memorial Scholarship Fund. A few blocks away from the Sigma Chi house, Chapin, 20, and his girlfriend Kernodle were spending the night at an off-campus apartment. Chapin, Kernodle, Goncalves, and Mogen were fatally stabbed on November 13 between the hours of 3 and 4 am, according to the police. The killer has yet not been identified or caught by the Moscow Police Department.
