[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]update: https://wtop.com/education/2024/03/fraternities-file-restraining-order-against-u-md-leadership-call-greek-life-suspension-unconstitutional/ [quote]The University of Maryland has lifted the suspension of fraternity and sorority activity on campus for 32 chapters, clearing them to return to normal activities, the university announced Friday evening. “Effective immediately, we are lifting the temporary pause on new member and alcohol-related activities, and related no-contact orders which the university issued on March 1, 2024. Thirty-two IFC and PHA chapters are cleared to return to normal activities,” the university said in a statement.[/quote] [quote]Five chapters remain under investigation “as a result of evidence suggesting involvement in hazing or other incidents that threatened the health and safety of our campus community,” the statement read. The school did not name the chapters it’s still investigating. WTOP has reached out to the school for the chapters it’s still investigating. The university released a list of chapters cleared to return to normal activities, which includes all 16 sororities affiliated with the Panhellenic Association. There are five fraternities listed on U.Md’s Interfraternity Council website that do not appear on the list of fraternities cleared by the school. Those fraternities are listed below: Kappa Alpha Order Lambda Chi Alpha Phi Sigma Kappa Sigma Nu Zeta Beta Tau[/quote][/quote] This doesn’t surprise me at all. These 5 have always had a reputation for being the worst for pledges and having parties where girls get drunk and taken advantage of. Even when I went there 25 years ago. None of this stuff happening at UMD is new nor is it unique to UMD. This is why I refused to pledge. Why would I want to pay to be part of that? But I can assure you that plenty of people, the majority in fact, don’t pledge and still have an active social life with lasting friendships. There is no need to go Greek if it’s not your thing. And if it is…well, this is what you are signing up for. [/quote] Geeds always claim they "refused" to pledge or that they opted out of the Greek system, as though the choice was theirs entirely. Often the reason they didn't pledge was because they didn't get a bid.[/quote] ? lots of students don't pledge at UMD. -parent of UMD student[/quote]
