UCF Kappa Sigma’s interim suspension status has been lifted and a re-hearing is set to be scheduled, UCF records show.
According to an e-mail sent to Kappa Sigma by UCF, technical difficulties with the video recording cut off part of the hearing and another hearing will be scheduled for a new date.
In the 2014-2015 Golden Rule Student Handbook, the Director of Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities may accept the hearing panel’s finding of “in violation”, “not in violation” or “remand the case for re-hearing”. UCF did not say whether the first hearing panel decided if the fraternity was in violation or not.
According to the e-mail, Kappa Sigma’s interim suspension status has been lifted until a finding is decided. They will be able to participate in campus events, including UCF Homecoming, while their status is lifted.
The fraternity was originally charged on two counts of disruptive conduct and three counts of harmful behavior following an alleged downtown jumping of a member in the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
The no contact order between Kappa Sigma and Lambda Chi Alpha is still in effect until further notice.
