WVU Issues Interim Suspension to Fraternity Following Allegations
The chapter is barred from social events, recruitment and university-sponsored programming while officials review multiple hazing allegations.
- West Virginia University issued an interim suspension to Lambda Chi Alpha on Friday following "multiple reports" of hazing, effective immediately and barring all recruitment and university-sponsored programming.
- This suspension follows a Campus Warning issued by WVU Police Tuesday regarding hazing at Lambda and Pi Kappa Alpha, though the Pi Kappa Alpha incident was determined to be unfounded.
- Lambda faces violations of Section 6.2 of the WVU Main Campus Student Code of Conduct regarding hazing; members are prohibited from attending, organizing, or hosting social functions as a chapter.
- The fraternity has five days to request a review and reconsideration of the sanctions, with the interim suspension remaining in effect until a formal hearing or disposition addresses the allegations.
- Individuals with hazing information can contact the WVU Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities or WVU Police; Lambda previously received interim suspensions in 2023 and 2024 for underage drinking allegations.
