TUSCALOOSA, AL (WBRC) -
The University of Alabama has suspended all fraternity pledgeship activities
after hazing allegations were made against nine fraternities.
According to a press release from the university, in
the last week seven fraternities were investigated on hazing complaints
including Phi Gamma Delta, Chi Phi, Sigma Nu, Kappa Alpha Order, Kappa Sigma,
Pi Kappa Phi and Zeta Beta Tau.
After the investigations, Greek and Judicial affairs
have cleared Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Nu, Kappa Alpha Order, Kappa Sigma, Pi
Kappa Phi and Zeta Beta Tau. There is no word on the investigation into Chi Pi.
In addition, a complaint has also been made about
Theta Chi, and the university says they will begin an investigation
immediately.
The university has also handed down suspensions to
some fraternity members. They say that they have issued interim suspensions to
one former member and two active members of Pi Kappa Alpha who are accused of
engaging in hazing off-campus.
These students will not be able to attend classes or
participate in university activities until Judicial Affairs decides whether
they can be reinstated. Pi Kappa Alpha's student seating for football games
have also been revoked. Additional sanctions and penalties could be levied
against the fraternity pending a completed investigation.
