After six weeks of investigating alleged hazing within Beta Theta Pi, Chico State University severed all ties with the nationally recognized fraternity last week.
Complaints to the University Police Department sparked an ongoing investigation that led to the discovery of possible hazing during the spring semester's pledging activities. The Student Activities Office moved "swiftly and sternly" to revoke the charter of Beta Theta Pi, associate director Rick Rees said.
Beta Theta Pi is among the largest fraternities, with about 125 chapters throughout the Unites States and Canada.
The local chapter, which has been in Chico for 20 years, no longer exists at Chico State University.
University Police conducted several extensive interviews with members of Beta Theta Pi, Rees said.
"We are very, very convinced that these guys stepped over the line," he said.
There was not one incident, but weeks of suspicious activities during the semester. But no injuries have been reported and no one has stepped forward as a victim, Rees said.

Okay, so just what did they do to step over the line? They say that this was not because of one particular incident, but suspicious activities? What kind of suspicious activities?
