From the March 5th Johns Hopkins Newsletter:
An investigation regarding events aurrounding the last Kappa Alpha Theta (Theta) formal is ongoing, according to several administrators at Hopkins.
"I am not free to discuss this matter as it is being investigated by the Office of the Dean of Student Life and Kappa Alpha Theta Headquarters," Director of Greek Life Rob Turning wrote in an email.
Although many members of Theta declined to comment because of the investigation, an anonymous pledge at the sorority confirmed that Theta is on probation.
"We're on probation and I think it is until next December that it is being reviewed, although I'm not sure when," the pledge said.
The anonymous source confirmed that one factor contributing to the sorority's probation was somebody breaking into Barnes and Noble while people were waiting for the bus.... "Theta is on social probation because of some bahavior at their date party. Now they can't have date parties or formals for a while," an anonymous member of Alpha Phi said.
The chapter president and several council officers were also removed, though it wasn't mentioned in the article. The chapter made quota of 40 New Members in Formal Recruitment, which ended about one month ago. The chapter members are understandably very upset that the actions of a few individuals have put the chapter in jeaprody, especially after a very successful recruitment. Theta is the largest sorority at Hopkins and has been on campus for a little over 10 years.
