The University of Missouri-Columbia has suspended all fraternity activities following an incident at an alcohol-fueled party Tuesday night.
, requiring written permission from the university president to have alcohol at any campus event. Basi stressed that the fraternities exist in private homes that are not on university-owned property.
"I don’t know why we’re seeing more of these [incidents] but we have had reports in recent weeks, and we want to stop this before it becomes a trend," Basi explained. Basi stressed that the decision to suspend activities was taken in tandem with the Interfraternity Council, a group made up of current fraternity members – meaning the student leaders support the university’s actions. Further action against PGD itself was ordered by the university and the fraternity’s national organization.
"We are extremely concerned about the events that were occurring at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity," Bill Stackman, vice chancellor for Student Affairs at the Columbia campus, said in a statement."As part of the investigations, we will hold anyone accountable who is found to have willfully ignored or violated university regulations."The suspension follows warnings last month for students to be aware of suspected drugged drinks on the Columbia campus.
