IU’s Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association have temporarily paused all social events until March 24.
In an email to the Indiana Daily Student, the IFC said the pause was intended to address community health and safety concerns.
“This move reflects our community’s willingness to take accountability,” the email read. “The safety of our members and guests is our utmost concern, and we will be taking appropriate action to ensure chapter compliance with updated risk management policies from both councils, as well as a detailed action plan going forward.”
The IFC represents 27 of IU’s fraternities, while the PHA is home to 22 of its sororities. The councils are led by Andrew Golde and Abigail Worrel respectively.
Beta Sigma Psi was placed on cease and desist Feb. 28 for alcohol and endangering others. The IU Police Department crime log reported three cases of aggravated battery and illegal consumption or possession of alcohol by a minor the same day at the Beta Sigma Psi house.
The fraternity was previously placed on elevated disciplinary probation from Aug. 23, 2024, to Dec. 31, 2025, for alcohol, controlled substances, endangering others, hazing, sexual harassment and lewd and indecent conduct.
Another fraternity, Sigma Chi, was placed on cease and desist November 2024 for hazing. Sigma Delta Tau also suspended activities Jan. 28 of this year and entered into a voluntary resolution agreement for hazing March 4, 2025, through April 6, 2025. Alpha Kappa Lambda entered a similar agreement Feb. 27, 2025, through April 10, 2025, to resolve an alcohol-related matter.
In the past month, multiple sororities and fraternities have appeared on the IU crime log for reports of illegal alcohol consumption, aggravated battery, domestic battery and petty theft. Many cases remain open or have been referred to university officials.
