The University of Maryland has lifted its suspension of most fraternities and sororities after an investigation into hazing and alcohol-related activities. The university said Friday that five chapters will remain under investigation and continue to be subject to limited restrictions on activities.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The University of Maryland has lifted its suspension of most fraternities and sororities after an investigation into hazing and alcohol-related activities, the university said Friday, though five chapters will remain under investigation and continue to be subject to limited restrictions on activities.
This week, a group representing several fraternities filed a lawsuit against the university in federal court, seeking a restraining order against the ban. Attorneys for the four fraternities that sued did not immediately return a phone message, and an email seeking comment on the university’s announcement.
The university announced that 32 chapters have been cleared to return to normal activities. That includes three of the four plaintiff chapters, Brown’s office said in a court filing, including Theta Chi, Alpha Sigma Phi and Alpha Tau Omega. As a result, the court filing said, there are no pending restrictions on their chapter activities.
The office also received an anonymous report from a parent that their son was being subjected to harmful hazing by being required to stay outside in the cold for several hours, requiring a trip to the university health center for suspected hypothermia.
