UCF suspends sorority after accusations of hazing, drinking, drug use
The Orlando Sentinel ^ | November 27, 2019 | Annie Martin

UCF has suspended sorority Pi Beta Phi after receiving an anonymous complaint of hazing, including members forcing others to use drugs and drink alcohol until they blacked out.

An anonymous person alerted the University of Central Florida on Nov. 16 about a post on the website greekrank.com that described a friend’s experience in Pi Beta Phi. UCF sent the sorority a letter Nov. 21 demanding it cease all activities, including business meetings, fundraisers, socials, mixers, intramural competitions and recruitment events while the university investigates the allegations. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 5.

The accusations are “of utmost concern” to Pi Beta Phi, senior director of strategic initiatives Shawn Eagleburger wrote in an email to the Orlando Sentinel.

Pi Beta Phi, which identifies itself as a fraternity for women, “takes seriously any allegation of hazing or member conduct which does not align with the core values of the organization,” he wrote.

Upon learning of the accusations, the organization placed the chapter on an “investigatory” status and started working with the university.

“At this time, we do not believe the full chapter was involved in wrongdoing; however we are looking closely at the actions of individual members to ensure any misconduct is addressed,” Eagleburger wrote. “There is no place in Pi Beta Phi for hazing, the abuse of alcohol or use of illegal substances as reflected in the fraternity’s educational resources and policies.”

Pi Beta Phi was suspended the same day as UCF’s chapter of fraternity Sigma Kappa, which also was accused of hazing. A member complained to the university of established members forcing pledges to smoke marijuana, drink alcohol, act as designated drivers and stand in pitch-black hallways while others screamed at them.

There are several. Phi Mu is another one. That doesn’t mean they are a bunch of trans or dykes. It is just structural in the organization.

I’m married to a past Phi Mu Fraternity president.

Structural? Huh?? I don’t know. Man,I was frat guy. Loved every minute.

Structure? Pay your dues and get a beer is about all the structure we had. Besides a stripper pole we erected in 93.

Man, I graduated college in 95, right before social media. We were the first house on campus have a stripper pole.

I got robbed in college. 1990 girls wear wore baggy flannels, 1994 all the girls were we wearing baby shirts and sporting whale tale.

MOST FUN EVAH, while getting educated.

I’m sure they straightened up right away and started following all the rules.

Pi Beta Phi?

Sounds like it should have been named I Felta Thi, or I Eta Pi.

> wearing baby shirts and sporting whale tale

I am from an earlier generation, clearly.... I can visualize “baby shirts”, but what in the world is “whale tale” (or “whale tail”)?

This from the school that declared itself college football national champions for 2017 just because they beat mostly nobodies.
