Rutgers University has banned fraternity and sorority house parties at its main campus for the rest of the spring semester after several alcohol-related problems this school year, including the death of a student. The probation was decided last week but announced by the university on Monday. “Rutgers takes seriously its commitment to maintaining a healthy and safe campus environment,” the university said in a statement. Under the ban, the university’s 86 recognized fraternities and sororities will be allowed to hold spring formals and other events where third-party vendors serve alcohol. The ban was first reported by NJ.com.
