Delta Delta Delta is no longer a sorority at Penn State.
The national Delta Delta Delta sorority withdrew the Penn State chapter's charter today, in response to what the national organization says are hazing and risk management violations.
The chapter has been under investigative probation by the national sorority for these violations since Nov. 5, according to a press release from the national sorority.
"While our board made this decision with a heavy heart, especially given the 62-year history of this chapter on the Penn State campus, we are confident that this is the right course of action to protect the members themselves and the standards of our organization overall,"Jackye Clark, fraternity president of Delta Delta Delta, is quoted as saying in the release.
Individual members involved with the allegations will be sanctioned individually, with the possibility of removal of their memberships, according to the release. Members unassociated with the violations may remain unaffiliated members of Delta Delta Delta.
New members yet to be initiated will be released from their membership and allowed to join another sorority, according to the release.
