University of Maryland Suspends Greek Life Amid Safety Concerns

The suspension follows a series of incidents that threatened the safety and well-being of the university community, prompting an indefinite halt to fraternity and sorority events.

The University of Maryland has indefinitely suspended all social and recruitment activities for its 21 fraternities and 16 sororities following reports of unsafe activities.
The decision comes in the wake of similar actions at the University of Virginia, where a student was hospitalized after an alleged hazing incident.
All organizations are prohibited from making contact with new or prospective members and hosting events where alcohol is present.
The suspension applies to organizations affiliated with the College Park campus' Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council.
An investigation is underway to address the reported incidents, with the suspension to remain in place indefinitely until further notice.
