A UCF spokesman has confirmed that the sanctions placed against Sigma Chi have been adjusted and the sanctions for Lambda Chi Alpha and Alpha Epsilon Pi were sustained.
Originally, Sigma Chi was found “in-violation” of hazing, disruptive conduct and alcohol related misconduct by UCF’s Student Conduct Board and sanctions placed on the fraternity included organizational suspension through the end of Fall 2016. The new adjusted sanctions have Sigma Chi on organizational suspension through the end of the Fall 2014 term, taking two years off of their suspension.
Alpha Epsilon Pi will remain on organizational suspension through Spring 2014 and Lambda Chi Alpha will be on disciplinary probation through Spring 2014.
KnightNews.com is suing UCF, claiming it broke state law by holding fraternity hazing hearings in secrecy. Certain hazing punishments could be thrown out, unless UCF conducts the hearings again in the public eye.
