West Virginia University notified Delta Sigma Phi fraternity on Thursday of an interim suspension that takes effect immediately.
The action from the WVU Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities is due to an independent ongoing investigation that started with an anonymous hazing report to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.
The fraternity is accused of multiple alleged violations of the WVU Main Campus Student Code of Conduct, specifically Section 6.2 which addresses hazing.
The interim suspension will remain in effect until the allegations are addressed through a formal hearing or other disposition.
During the interim suspension, members of the Delta Sigma Phi chapter are, among other sanctions, prohibited from participating in, attending, or organizing social functions as a chapter, or hosting or co-hosting social activities at another location.
All recruitment and new member class programs are also suspended immediately, and Delta Sigma Phi is prohibited from participating in University-sponsored programming.
Delta Sigma Phi has five days to request a review and reconsideration of the sanctions.
