Excerpts from ^^:

"Paul Zingg announced the suspension in a noon meeting with about one-third of the 1,200 students who belong to 26 fraternities and sororities at Chico State. He barred them from holding activities and ordered them to remove or cover up the Greek letters on their chapter houses.

The school's vice president for student affairs, Drew Calandrella, who also addressed the meeting, told the students that he understood some were upset about the decision, but "I'm asking all of you to reflect on what you stand for."

According to local news reports, Mason Sumnicht, a senior who majored in communication design, was found unconscious in his apartment last week after a night of drinking at bars with friends to celebrate his 21st birthday. He was taken off life support and pronounced dead Thursday.

A campus newspaper said Sumnicht, a native of San Diego, was pledging the Sigma Pi fraternity.

Calandrella said there had been other serious incidents at the school's fraternities and sororities this year, including allegations of hazing and assaults as well as violations of alcohol policy.
. . .

ETA: The San Francisco Chronicle mentions in another story that fraternities and sororities will be allowed to apply to reopen next semester, but not all will be allowed to return.

Exactly how this would work, the Chronicle's article does not say.
