A few excerpts from the article:
"They violated the 'no drinking' [rule] during formal recruitment. We substantiated there was drinking on the field. There was drinking prior to the event. And that is against their policy as it relates to recruitment," Patrick Daniel, director of student activities, said.
Formal recruitment is supposed to be a "dry" recruitment.
Daniel said the University learned of the infractions because numerous injuries were reported and there were pictures on Facebook. . . .
The social probation will last until Spring Break 2008.
"They cannot tailgate. They can't participate in Homecoming events. They can't have events with other chapters. That includes fraternities and other student organizations. [There will be] no formals, semiformals, no date parties or crush parties, no socials," he said.
Whether there was also underage drinking at Bid Day is still under investigation, Daniel said. Individual sorority members are going through the judicial process. . . .
