Delaware has been really cracking down on hazing and alcohol violations among the greek community in the last several years, and we've just lost another one...

Phi Sigma Sigma sorority suspended
11:59 a.m., May 3, 2007--The Delta Eta chapter of the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority at the University of Delaware has been suspended by the University through spring 2011.

According to Kathryn Goldman, director of the Office of Judicial Affairs at the University, the sorority was found guilty of violating UD policies on alcohol, hazing and endangering the safety of others. At a hearing held by the Office of Judicial Affairs, students in the sorority admitted that such activities did occur.

The sorority, which occupies a house on University property at 301A Pencader Way, has 79 sisters and 43 new recruits, for a membership of 122. The chapter was chartered at UD in 1982.

I just want to say that I hate the use of the word "recruits" in this story - sounds like the military or a cult.

I guess you can't blame the GDI when we (and by "we", I mean whomever at NPC's bright idea it was to change from Rush) call it Recruitment.

Delaware has been on a TEAR over the last few years!!! With all the chapters that have departed over the last few years one has to wonder if there will be any Greek Life left at UD at all!

Yes they have been... the number of groups on their judicial website who are fully suspended or who are not recognized by either their national org or the university is quite long -- 11 in all...
