There have been rumors floating around campus for a while but this was in the school paper today:
The Pi Beta Phi sorority lost its university recognition last week on charges of hazing.
The letter announcing the Student Conduct Board’s findings was delivered Feb. 27, said Chris Wuthrich, associate director of Student Conduct. The chapter has until March 20 to file an appeal.
Unless the decision is successfully overturned, Pi Beta Phi’s loss of university recognition will run through June 2010. By that time, the chapter must file a petition describing what it has done to improve its operations.
As a result of this sanction, the sorority may not participate in formal recruitment or house freshmen.
The chapter’s hazing incident occurred last semester, Wuthrich said. Loss of university recognition is a mandatory punishment for all hazing cases.

We had two sororities lose recognition about 5 years ago, one for a semester and the other for a year. It makes me sad that there is still hazing going on on campus.
