Another University of Georgia fraternity has been suspended.
Kappa Sigma's Beta-Lambda chapter at UGA has been suspended by its national organization, not the university, Mitch Wilson, executive director of the Kappa Sigma national chapter, told the campus newspaper, The Red and Black.
Wilson would not say why the frat was sanctioned nor what was being investigated. "There's been no decision that the chapter [has] lost its charter," he said, according to an article published on the newspaper's website, redandblack.com.
Wes Fugate, adviser to the Interfraternity Council within UGA's Greek Life Office, said he was aware of the suspension and investigation, but said the IFC is not investigating on its own because there haven’t been any student complaints.
"All that we have heard is that they are under investigation for a violation of their code of conduct," he said.
Fugate said an investigation by the national charter doesn’t mean a university code of conduct was breached. "I would suspect that it would be a violation of something regarding hazing, perhaps their social policies regarding alcohol and drugs," he told the campus paper.
It's the third fraternity suspension at the university this year.
Pi Kappa Phi was suspended after an investigation into an allegation in March of hazing, according to The Red and Black, and Pi Kappa Alpha was disciplined over concerns that never were made public.
