(AP) – The University of Missouri has withdrawn recognition of a
fraternity for five years for violations of several of the school’s standards of
conduct.
The action announced Tuesday against Kappa Alpha is effective immediately. It
means the fraternity cannot participate in campus activities and will not have
access to some university facilities, such as auditoriums and meeting rooms. The
fraternity also must pay a $1,000 judicial processing fee.
Fraternity members will be allowed to continue their academic programs.
The university announced in early October that it was investigating an
incident involving excessive alcohol use at Kappa Alpha, which was already on
probation for another alcohol-related incident earlier in the semester.
The Kappa Alpha national office did not immediately return a phone call
Tuesday from The Associated Press.
