Pi Kappa Phi suspended until January 2017

By Caroline Fernandez

Elon University, in conjunction with the national office of Pi Kappa Phi, closed the Epsilon Alpha chapter of Pi Kappa Phi March 17 until January 2017, according to an email to The Pendulum from Smith Jackson, dean of students. This comes more than a month after the fraternity was suspended indefinitely for allegations of hazing. Jackson said a campus investigation and conduct hearing determined that new members of the fraternity were hazed during the spring pledge period and the chapter hosted an unapproved event off-campus with alcohol. “The decision to remove Pi Kappa Phi follows a pattern over several years of discipline for violations of the Elon Honor Code,” Jackson said.

Grief, loss support group provides comfort for Elon faculty, staff

Elon University associate chaplain Rev. Julie Tonnesen said loss and grief are universal emotions, but found that they can be difficult for faculty and staff to process while continuing their usual routines. “Even when we show up to work, that doesn’t mean that we get to put the rest of our lives on the back burner,” Tonnesen said. “Our grief comes with us. It’s not something we can just keep on a shelf at home.” In collaboration with Counseling Services, the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, began offering a monthly group for faculty and staff to support those affected by loss.
