University of Arizona Places All Fraternities on Interim Suspension Amid Misconduct Probe
Nearly half of the campus’s 21 fraternities face allegations ranging from hazing to assault as the Dean of Students Office investigates multiple reports.
- The University of Arizona suspended all fraternity activities on Tuesday, October 6, after Dean of Students Chrissy Lieberman cited "multiple reports of misconduct" involving nearly half of the 21 chapters on campus.
- Since the fall semester began seven weeks ago, investigations have uncovered serious allegations including physical assault, hazing, and illicit drug use. Several chapters faced disciplinary action earlier this year for similar hazing violations.
- Lieberman detailed specific violations, including one instance where "new members were forced to consume large quantities of alcohol and live goldfish." The Dean of Students Office is at capacity investigating these cases involving nearly half of campus fraternities.
- Chapter advisors must attend one of three mandatory meetings with Lieberman starting Tuesday to resolve the interim activities suspension. Chapters in good standing may resume normal operations only after their advisor completes this requirement.
- Students expressed mixed reactions, with some calling the suspension necessary and others noting that Greek life has become "no longer viable." The university continues to coordinate investigations alongside the Arizona Police Department.
