More details are in the longer article on the Springfield (MO) paper's site -- brief excerpts below --, which reports, among other things, that the suspensions are --
. . . for their involvement in an off-campus party where there was underage drinking.
The Sept. 13 party in rural Stone County led to 16 minors being charged for possession of alcohol and sent an 18-year-old to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.
Stone County Sheriff Richard Hill said he was told members of the Kappa Alpha and Sigma Nu fraternities organized the gathering.
Kappa Alpha's national office confirmed that the local chapter "co-hosted" the party.
Michael Wilson, director of chapter services for Kappa Alpha's national office, said its investigation has revealed members of the Drury chapter violated several provisions of the fraternity's Risk Management Policy.
He said the national office is working with university officials to resolve the matter, and sanctions from the national office are expected to be announced early next week.
"The national organization is considering sanctions that will complement the steps taken by the university," Larry Wiese, executive director for Kappa Alpha Order, said in a prepared statement. . . .
