UF Pikes suspended after party

[GonzoGator]

From the get-go there was no evidence of sexual battery, and now the tox-screens show the girls were not drugged. Basically their fate boils down to how UF will punish a house that served alcohol to minors that has had suspensions/probations.

Yea it's over, since they were suspended they weren't allowed to participate in rush week.

So the Pikes are working on breaking the news (expect the papers to have the story Monday or Tuesday).

Basically their fate boils down to how UF will punish a troubled house that served alcohol to minors. From what I've told they should be hearing from the University dean of students in the next couple weeks.

And the story about the dropped charges (but the possibility of some kind of action through the university) is in the Alligator at:

Well, since it's an off campus and GPD is separate from UF, two investigations was an established fact from the get-go

Ahem, seems like a heck of a harsh penalty.
