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.
