Alpha Kappa Delta Phi Chapter at CSU San Marcos Loses Charter After Hazing Investigation

CSUSM withdrew recognition, barred activities on campus, urged students not to affiliate.

Overview

  • The national sorority revoked the CSUSM pre-associate chapter’s charter on September 11 following a probe into hazing and misconduct.
  • An internal memo cited normalization of harmful practices, reinforcement of unsafe traditions, and inconsistent adherence to policies, with ongoing cultural challenges and repeated non-compliance.
  • CSUSM’s directory lists the chapter as unrecognized and prohibits it from recruiting, hosting events, or using university resources.
  • The national organization said the decision followed a thorough review and reiterated a zero-tolerance stance on hazing with member safety as a priority.
  • Officials released limited detail about the conduct under review, as the university voiced support for the revocation and reaffirmed compliance with California anti-hazing law and CSU policy.
