The University of Maryland has lifted its suspension of most fraternities and sororities after an investigation into hazing and alcohol-related activities.
FILE - The University of Maryland campus in College Park, Md., is seen, Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2014. The University of Maryland has lifted its suspension of most fraternities and sororities after concluding an investigation into hazing and alcohol-related activities, the university said Friday, March 15, 2024, 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.
Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown’s office argued in court documents filed Friday that as a result of the university’s decision to lift the restrictions, the fraternities’ request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction is now moot and should be denied. The order applied to the 37 groups that are part of the university’s Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association. It did not apply to the university’s 13 multicultural Greek organizations or five historically Black fraternities and sororities.
The university’s Office of Student Conduct received two referrals alleging conduct violations in February, in which a resident director reported that he found multiple prohibited substances and drug paraphernalia in a fraternity house, according to court records.
