UMD fraternity Pi Kappa Alpha has been cleared of all hazing charges.
The Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life and the Office of Student Conduct at the University of Maryland have found a string of fraternities not guilty of hazing after allegations surfaced earlier this year.
DFSL suspended Kappa Alpha Psi, a historically black fraternity and member of the Pan-Hellenic Council, mid-February after the fraternity was charged with hazing, according to the Diamondback. According to the fraternity’s website, Kappa Alpha Psi prohibits any form of hazing in its chapters.
Delta Chi, Pi Kappa Alpha and Tau Kappa Epsilon, members of the Interfraternity Council at UMD, were also cleared of hazing allegations filed at the beginning of the semester.
DFSL is working with these four fraternities to ensure hazing charges never arise again, working with the fraternities in membership reviews and meetings with DFSL staff.
Delta Chi, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Tau Kappa Epsilon will remain on social moratorium until the end of the school year, according to DFSL, meaning the three fraternities cannot host socials or parties, and cannot participate in Greek Week.
