Why Ohio’s Miami University is Cracking Down on Fraternities

 

The start of the school year means pledging to join fraternities or sororities for many college freshman. But students attending Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, have fewer fraternities to choose from this school year. The public university has suspended two fraternities and placed another on probation for hazing rituals and misconduct. Sigma Nu, Phi Kappa Psi, and Kappa Sigma were all disciplined by Miami University administration for hazing rituals and conduct violations. Sigma Nu and Phi Kappa Psi were both suspended. Kappa Sigma was placed on probation and is no longer recognized by its national organization. These disciplines follow a crackdown on hazing by the university administration.
