Since August, this is the fifth fraternity to be placed on cease and desist.

When Kappa Alpha Psi joined these fraternities, the following reasons were mentioned in the cease-and-desist notices: hazing, alcohol, endangering others, and Kappa Sigma; hazing, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.; hazing, Sigma Alpha Epsilon; and hazing, Delta Upsilon.

All five fraternities’ activities have been put on hold at Indiana University until further notice.
