Another UM fraternity suspended

OXFORD, Miss. - A second fraternity at the University of Mississippi has been suspended until 2025 after violating the university’s hazing policy, according to Brent A. Marsh, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs and dean of students. The Lambda Pi chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. was notified by UM that it is suspended until Jan. 1, 2025. The suspension stems from hazing allegations from the spring 2020 semester. Marsh said the decision was reached by the University Judicial Council. UM did not release details about the hazing. In November, the Gamma Iota chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha was suspended by the university and the Supreme Council of the Pi Kappa Alpha International. It will remain inactive until May 1, 2025. In early December, seven members of the Pi Kappa Alpha chapter were charged with cyberstalking after they were accused of using social media to harass a former member who reported the hazing to UM.
