University of Maryland Suspends Greek Organizations Pending Safety Investigation

The University of Maryland has suspended all social and recruitment activities for fraternities and sororities following reports of unsafe activities, pending an investigation. The suspension applies to all organizations affiliated with the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council, and prohibits contact with new or prospective members as well as hosting events with alcohol. This action comes after recent hazing incidents at the University of Virginia and the 2021 death of a Virginia Commonwealth University student, prompting increased scrutiny and anti-hazing efforts in the Greek life community.
