KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Pi Kappa Phi fraternity is finished at the University of Kansas for at least five years.

Repeated violations of the university's ban on hazing and "an open culture of illegal drug use" led KU Vice Provost for Student Affairs Tammara Durham to inform the fraternity in a letter Nov. 4 that Pi Kappa Phi's Theta Epsilon chapter has been terminated as a registered organization effective Nov. 25, when the fall semester ends.

Her decision was based on the sanctions recommended by hearing panel that considered evidence, much of which was posted in GroupMe messages.

Durham said in her letter to the fraternity that breaking the cycle of hazing requires a total reset.
