Effective immediately all
activities of the Theta Xi Fraternity at Lehigh University have been
temporarily suspended. This action is being taken because of alleged
University policy violations by the chapter and its members during the new
member education process. Allegations
include: endangering the health and safety of other students and failure to
follow the chapter’s approved new member education plan.
This interim suspension mandates that no chapter activities of any kind may occur, either on Lehigh's campus or off-campus for Theta Xi. This specifically includes but is not limited to new member activities.
Also, upon the issuance of this letter, you are to
have no further contact with any new members of the Eta Chapter until further
notice. This also means that you are not permitted to contact Eta Chapter new
members in any way (personally, electronic, through third parties, etc.) until
further notice. This includes Eta Chapter new members being present at
the chapter facility and/or any off-campus facilities where chapter members
live.
If this order is violated, individuals
and/or the chapter will be immediately charged with further violations of the
University Code of Conduct and disciplinary action will be taken. This
"no contact" order does not imply any judgment regarding the factual
nature of the incident.
The Office of Student Conduct
& Community Expectations will begin an investigation and this interim
suspension will remain in effect until the formal resolution of these
allegations is concluded. Failure to
comply with the terms of interim suspension will result additional charges.
