Excerpt from the article ^^ posted on news site:

Two sororities at the University of Rhode Island will have to watch from the sidelines next week as other sororities and fraternities participate in Greek Week . . . — punishment, the university says, for allowing underage drinking at group-sponsored events.

The Sigma Delta Tau and Alpha Chi Omega sororities are also being fined $500 and they cannot hold formal events, such as dances, for the remainder of the semester, said Frances C. Cohen, URI’s dean of students and the assistant vice president for student affairs.

Cohen said the university confirmed three instances — two last fall involving Sigma Delta Tau and one this semester involving Alpha Chi Omega — in which the sororities held events with underage drinking.
