What it means to be a suspended fraternity or sorority

A suspended fraternity or sorority is one that has lost all rights and privileges associated with being a recognized student organization at the University. Loss or suspension of recognition means that they cannot participate in any Greek-life activities and are prohibited from participating in any University function as a group, including Homecoming and THON. For all intents and purposes, a fraternity or sorority does not exist in the Penn State community when it loses recognition.

List of Suspended Fraternities & Sororities at University Park

These fraternities and sororities have had their recognition revoked by Penn State for various reasons, including such things as hazing, risk management violations, and/or failure to comply with University policies and expectations. These organizations have in almost all cases also had their charter suspended or revoked by their inter/national organization because they were not upholding fraternal values and were engaging in risky behaviors that endangered their members and/or other students. In other cases, some groups may still be chartered and continue to operate without the recognition of Penn State.
