Greek leaders, U. officials mum on investigations
In fact, a representative from the Beta Theta Pi fraternity national administrative office said that he had not yet been contacted by University officials, and he was unaware of any specific investigation into the group.
The investigations, initiated by the Office of Student Conduct immediately before spring break, follow allegations that three fraternities and three sororities -- or persons connected with them -- violated hazing and alcohol policies as well as the Code of Student Conduct.
The fraternities under investigation are Beta Theta Pi, Tau Epsilon Phi and Zeta Beta Tau. Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Delta Tau are the sororities being investigated.
A representative from the TEP national headquarters stated that his office will cooperate "100 percent" with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, but could not provide any additional information. Representatives from the national offices of ZBT and the three sororities did not return phone calls.
The presidents of each fraternity and sorority declined comment, and neither OFSA Director Scott Reikofski nor OSC Director Michele Goldfarb could provide any new information.
Findings from the investigations are expected to be released sometime in the next two weeks.
