Excerpts:

All activities at the UK chapter of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity have been suspended after police issued underage drinking citations early Sunday.

According to a press release issued by the Indianapolis-based Lambda Chi Alpha headquarters, the UK chapter has been placed on emergency suspension.

. . . Tad Lichtenauer, director of communications and information technology for Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity Inc., said the emergency suspension policy is a “broad umbrella,” meaning the fraternity has been suspended for something other than financial reasons.

The international headquarters is working with the school to investigate what happened and said the university will take the lead in the investigation. And because of the suspension, the fraternity cannot have any events or meetings until further notice from headquarters, Lichtenauer said.

The suspension means the UK chapter will not be participating in recruitment this fall. . . .

The Indianapolis-based board of directors of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity has declared its University of Kentucky chapter inactive.

Lambda Chi Alpha spokesman Tad Lichtenauer said in a release that the board intends to re-establish a chapter of the fraternity at the UK campus in the future.

The fraternity's UK chapter was suspended by the national headquarters after campus police found minors drinking alcohol at the fraternity's house early Sunday morning.
