Fraternity Suspended

Georgia Southern University (GSU) has taken decisive action against three fraternities following confirmed reports of hazing incidents occurring during the fall of 2023. Effective immediately, Sigma Chi, Kappa Alpha, and Delta Chi have been placed under suspension pending further investigation and disciplinary proceedings.

GSU's commitment to the safety and well-being of its students is paramount. The university has a zero-tolerance policy regarding hazing, and any substantiated allegations are met with swift and stringent disciplinary measures. The decision to suspend these organizations underscores GSU's dedication to upholding a safe and respectful campus environment.

"We are deeply disappointed by the actions of these organizations, as hazing is contrary to the values of GSU and the principles of brotherhood and community that fraternities are meant to uphold," said Greek Life spokesperson Francisco Lugo "The health and safety of our students are our top priorities, and we will continue to investigate these incidents thoroughly."

During the suspension period, Sigma Chi, Kappa Alpha, and Delta Chi are prohibited from participating in any university activities, including recruitment, social events, and organizational meetings. GSU encourages any students who have information regarding hazing or other misconduct to come forward and assist with the investigation.

GSU remains committed to fostering a campus culture that prioritizes respect, inclusivity, and responsibility. Updates regarding the status of the suspensions and any subsequent actions will be provided as the investigation progresses.
