Apology: This pretty much duplicates an earlier posting by Jill1228 in another forum. I should have checked more thoroughly.

The UC Berkeley chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity lost its university recognition after repeated risk management, fire and life safety and social code violations, as well as noncompliance with prior sanctions, the campus announced Monday.
The fraternity lost its recognition July 15 following “repeated” violations and noncompliance with prior sanctions, according to an email from Amanda Carlton, director of student involvement for the campus Center for Student Leadership, to the Fraternity and Sorority Life unit of the Division of Student Affairs.
“The chapter … lost University recognition following several repeated attempts by University staff to affect a culture change in the undergraduate membership,” Carlton said in the email.
As a result of the revocation, the chapter cannot apply for or be granted recognition from the university nor recruit members on the UC Berkeley campus for at least four years. Additionally, the national organization, its affiliates and alumni may not recruit members on campus for at least four years. . . .
