West Virginia University has suspended Delta Sigma Phi fraternity following an anonymous hazing report.

West Virginia University suspended the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity chapter on Thursday following an anonymous hazing report submitted to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. The university has not disclosed the nature of the alleged hazing or when it occurred.

The fraternity is accused of multiple alleged violations of the WVU Main Campus Student Code of Conduct Section 6.2, which covers hazing. The interim suspension bars members from participating, attending or organising social functions as a chapter, hosting or co-hosting social activities at another location, and all recruitment and new member programmes. The fraternity is also suspended from university-sponsored programming.

The suspension remains in place until the allegations are addressed through a formal hearing or other disposition. The WVU Police Department is investigating the allegations. Delta Sigma Phi has five days to request a review and reconsideration of the sanctions. This is the third WVU fraternity facing investigation; on 26 October police served search warrants at Lambda Chi and Pi Kappa Alpha.
