Health guidelines issued by the university and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life’s #MaskUpFSL campaign did not stop fraternity members from hosting several in-person bid day events without following mask and social distancing guidelines.

In photos obtained by The Daily Mississippian, members of Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi, Sigma Pi, Delta Psi and Phi Kappa Psi gathered in large groups in front of their respective houses. The university’s Interfraternity Council (IFC) released guidelines in August outlining virtual recruitment, which state that there is “zero tolerance for any social gatherings violating university and Oxford policies…”

Oxford has jumped to #4 in the country with the greatest number of cases per capita in the past two weeks, according to the New York Times.
