The University of Colorado Boulder suspended the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity after “credible reports of hazing” regarding the group.
The university announced the suspension through its safety alert system Thursday evening, noting that the hazing happened Monday and was reported Tuesday. Under federal law, colleges are required to notify about crimes that occur in or around campus.
“Phi Kappa Sigma has been placed under an interim suspension as the university investigates, which includes the suspension of all fraternity activities,” according to the alert.
Officials said the school also received at least two other reports of “extreme or severe hazing” this week but didn’t provide additional details.
The school asks anyone with information regarding the Phi Kappa Sigma hazing incident or any other hazing to report it to their Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution group or to campus police, which has an anonymous tip line.
The school defines hazing as “any action or situation that recklessly or intentionally endangers the health, safety, or welfare of, or causes a risk of bodily injury to, an individual for the purpose of initiation, participation, admission into, or affiliation with any organization or CU Boulder group,” according to its website.
Hazing could include “any abuse of a mental or physical nature, forced consumption of any food, liquor, drugs, or substances, any forced physical activity that could adversely affect the health or safety of an individual, any activity that would subject the individual to embarrassment or humiliation, or any forced violation of CU Boulder policy, and/or local, state, or federal law.”
