Clemson University suspends all fraternities after freshman’s death

They didn't suspend the fraternities, they suspended PLEDGING ACTIVITIES.

And considering this has already been commented on by a poster who is AN ACTUAL ACTIVE SORORITY MEMBER AT CLEMSON I don't know why this thread is even here. The last thing we need is a poorly written USA Today article.

In which thread? I don't remember seeing anything

I posted in the thread LillyPhi started with the misleading title that appears to have been deleted. Points of clarification:

-All social and new member activities have been suspended indefinitely for fraternities that belong to the campus IFC. This means, for example, that our chapter of Beta Upsilon Chi has been suspended, even though they are not a member of the NIC, and it means that none of the NPHC chapters are facing these sanctions.

-All fraternities are required to initiate their new members by 9 PM this Friday unless they have asked for and been approved for an extension. A member of each national organization is required to confirm that the fraternities actually initiated their new members.

-Fraternity philanthropic events and alumni events are being approved on a case-by-case basis. We're in the middle of Sigma Chi's Derby Days right now and various aspects of it are and aren't being cancelled at the last minute. As of right now we have no idea if the annual Homecoming float-building competition is happening or not.

-The first of the Office of Conduct and Ethical Standards (OCES) hearings against fraternities are being heard this week. The number of fraternities with campus charges pending against them keeps changing, and I don't know which ones that is or what the charges are.

-Tucker was a sophomore, not a freshman. This was his first year on campus but he was enrolled in the Clemson University Bridge Program last year, which is similar to other college transition programs found at Texas and Texas Tech.
