West Virginia ("WVU") Suspends All Greek Social & Pledging Activities

http://www.businessinsider.com/west-...tudent-2014-11

All WVU fratenities & sororities have been placed on a moratorium that suspends all chapter social & pledging activites.
………………………………………………………………….
Statement by WVU and its IFC and Panhellenic Council:

http://wvutoday.wvu.edu/n/2014/11/13...further-notice

“Following emergency meetings today among West Virginia University officials, the Inter-Fraternity Council and Panhellenic Council, all campus fraternities and sororities have been placed on a moratorium that suspends all chapter social and pledging activities until further notice.

“The action comes on the heels of two recent incidents, the latest occurring today (Nov. 13) where a catastrophic medical emergency required a 9-1-1 response to a fraternity house. The other on Nov. 6 was a disturbance in South Park involving members of another fraternity. Both incidents are under investigation by both Morgantown and University Police.

“First, our hearts, prayers and support go out to the student who is gravely ill and his family. Right now that is our utmost concern,” said Dean of Students Corey Farris, Inter-Fraternity Council President Ansh Kumar and Panhellenic Council President Rachel Poe in a joint statement.” . . .

Comment: Seems to be another example of a mass shutdown of parties and pledging in the wake of an incident or two. I keep thinking we're seeing a lot more of this kind of sanctioning or whatever you want to call it.
