Excerpts from longer article ^:

the UA chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon has stopped an appeal to remain on campus after it lost recognition and was suspended as the result of reported hazing violations in the fall . . . .

. . . Kappa Sigma could become the second fraternity to be removed from campus this year after the UA withdrew recognition of Sigma Phi Epsilon, known informally as Sig Ep.
The local chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon appealed the decision earlier this year and a tentative hearing was scheduled for this month.

. . .
However, the fraternity [Sigma Phi Epsilon] recently withdrew its appeal and will be suspended from campus for three years . . . .
Attempts to reach Sigma Phi Epsilon officials on Monday were unsuccessful.
The university found the fraternity responsible for multiple hazing and alcohol violations while the chapter inducted new members during the fall semester . . . .
The violations included putting students' safety at risk and physical assaults . . . .

Here is a link that gives the Kappa Sig side. We will see what happens. Interesting. Usually Kappa Sig National throws the hammer down and yanks the charter.
