University Statements

The Office of Fraternities, Sororities and Independent Living has announced that as of February 23, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity has been placed by Cornell on interim suspension status as a result of alleged hazing including intimidation, verbal abuse, harassment, alcohol consumption and calisthenics.

Interim suspension is a pause in the operations of a chapter during which the chapter may not engage in any activities other than operation of its residence. Interim suspension is used when details of a credible report compel the university to cease activities of the organization for the safety of the members, those joining or guests.
