'I am hereby suspending all chapter operations for Interfraternity Council chapters until further notice, effective immediately.'
Five months after the death of a student in an alleged hazing incident led to the expulsion of one of its fraternities, Ohio University has suspended all 15 of its Interfraternity Council fraternity chapters amid new reports of hazing.
"Last Spring, Sigma Pi was expelled from our community as a result of hazing. Earlier this week, we received allegations that two IFC chapters were hazing new members and those chapters were placed on a cease and desist from Community Standards and Students Responsibility," she said in the letter. The news comes almost a year after Collin Wiant, an 18-year-old freshman, died after allegedly being hazed by the Sigma Pi fraternity. A lawsuit by Wiant's family claims that he died of asphyxiation after ingesting nitrous oxide forced on him by fraternity members.
Earlier this year, the University at Buffalo's president suspended all Greek life after an 18-year-old undergraduate student was critically injured in a"potential" hazing incident at the school's Sigma Pi house in April.
