A "suspension," I guess you'd call it -- Pi Kappa Phi at U of Georgia -- following investigations spurred by an anonymous letter:

Excerpts from Atlanta Journal Constitution report:
Metro Atlanta / State News 1:46 p.m. Tuesday, March 23, 2010 UGA's Pi Kappa Phi suspended .By Kristi E. Swartz
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
All activities at the University of Georgia’s Pi Kappa Phi fraternity are suspended through Jan. 1, 2011, as part of several hazing-related sanctions handed down from the Office of Judicial Programs.
.Also, fraternity members -- with the exception of the fall 2009 pledge class -- will not be able to participate in Pi Kappa Phi, and no new pledges may join, according to an informal resolution agreement obtained earlier this week by the Red and Black, the campus daily newspaper.
According to the document, Pi Kappa last Friday accepted the sanctions, which allow the fraternity to operate again after Jan. 1 next year, but it must follow certain restrictions until May 15.
University officials did not immediately return phone calls.
UGA last month suspended the fraternity because of allegations of pledge paddling -- the extent of which was in question after an investigation by Pi Kappa Phi's national office.
The university's informal agreement -- the result of a separate investigation -- states that the fraternity "violated published policies when the organization condoned the hazing of new members. It is alleged that members of the organization physically abused new members and those actions disrupted the academic pursuit, rights, and/or privacy of other individuals."
. . . The list of nine sanctions, signed by Pi Kappa Phi chapter president Brent Stringer and UGA Assistant Dean of Students Brandon Frye -- bans the fraternity from holding any social events where alcohol is available. It also said the chapter must recruit, hire and train an adviser who will live in the fraternity house.
