Kappa Sigma suspension lifted due to lack of evidence

ULM’s chapter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity is no longer under suspension and investigation into hazing allegations by the national office has been complete.

The fraternity was temporarily suspended earlier this semester after university officials began receiving anonymous emails about alleged misconduct.

The incidents were believed to have happened at a bid day party on Aug. 30.

Pledges were said to have been forced to drink excessive amounts of alcohol.

One pledge was thought to have been sent to the hospital due to alcohol poisoning.

But the pledge took to Twitter the day after the party to deny that he went to the hospital.

Later, the claims were also denied by the mother of the pledge.

National Kappa Sigma Executive Director Mic Wilson said that suspension was a part of standard procedure when an investigation is launched.

When a fraternity is under suspension, they are not allowed to hold any events or participate in activities.

Any findings are submitted to a review board, which will make a final decision on whether the fraternity violated any rules.

Investigation was completed a couple of weeks ago after there was no evidence found to support the alleged hazing, according to Wilson.

No university officials or Kappa Sigma members could be reached for comment.
