Overview

• The University of Maryland has indefinitely suspended all new member and alcohol-related activities for its fraternities and sororities.
• The decision was made following reports of activities that threatened the safety and well-being of the university community.
• No specific incident was cited as the cause for the suspension, but it aims to prevent significant incidents.
• Fraternities and sororities have criticized the suspension, claiming it was sudden and without clear explanation or opportunity to defend themselves.
• An external resource will assist with the ongoing investigation, which will determine when activities can resume.
