Four Texas State fraternities suspended over 'alcohol-related' violations

Four fraternities at Texas State University were suspended earlier this month — one for up to 5 years — following "alcohol-related policy violations," campus officials confirmed Tuesday.

Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha and Delta Tau Delta, will cease campus operations for 2, 3, 4 and 5 years, respectively, university spokesman Matt Flores told mySA.com.

The suspensions were issued on Jan. 6 following review by a student justice panel comprised of students, faculty and staff. The fraternities are prohibited from conducting business or hosting social events, Flores explained.

He said the alleged violations occurred the night of Oct. 28, 2016 during an "off-campus social event."

Flores avoided connecting the infractions to the death of a Texas State freshman at a fraternity party the day of the alleged violations.
