Excerpts from longer article:

After an alcohol-related incident at an on-campus party occurred last semester involving new members, the Missouri Beta chapter of Pi Beta Phi at Washington University is facing probation until the end of May (note: May 2008) .

"Risky behavior was involved," said Director of Campus Life Jill Carnaghi. "On the part of the [fraternity] as well as the [University] we're concerned for the safety of our students. We're taking actions that will correct these indiscretions."

. . . Officers of the Pi Beta Phi chapter on campus referred all requests to comment to their national office.

"Pi Beta Phi Fraternity is working closely with its Missouri Beta chapter at Washington University, as well as campus administrators to ensure the chapter complies with campus and Fraternity policies," said Stephanie Gurley-Thomas, a national Pi Beta Phi spokesperson.

Gurley-Thomas stressed the history of the chapter on campus and that the chapter has the full support of its alumnae . . . .

"The Missouri Beta chapter of Pi Beta Phi is an integral part of the Greek system at Washington University and will continue to remain an active and involved chapter on campus," said Gurley-Thomas. . . .
