UCF Sig Ep suspended
Were the guys not doing these kinds of things when I was a student there, or has it just gotten worse?

They were doing those things but they weren't stupid about it so they didn't get caught. By the time my senior year rolled around, the guys weren't afraid of publicly hazing their pledges.

At this rate, Greek Row will become Sorority Row by 2010.

It is not fun for the sororities when this happens on campuses (many fraternities getting disciplined). Two of the six fraternities that opened on my campus 10 years ago are no longer there...they were kicked off for hazing and other serious matters. And at least one other fraternity has a history of being placed on probation by the school. One new fraternity has been brought in to replace one of the two that closed, but the greek system still feels very lopsided. The sororities are so well put-together, and the fraternities are chaotic.

What a shame, there seems to be a history at the school!

When was Pi Kapp suspended???
(Add to kicked off campus: Pi Kappa Alpha)
Still plenty of fraternities, but aside from LXA, Sigma Chi, Kappa Sig, ATO and possibly DU, the rest have very small numbers. Acacia closed a few years ago; down to one member.

That's really unfortunate. It also may be part of the reason Florida recently enacted its tougher anti-hazing law.

What happened to Delta Gamma? I know they did not participate in Formal Recruitment this year, but are they totally off campus? I thought they were still around trying to re-organize their current chapter and be able to recruit this semester or something like that. I hope they do not completely go off campus since they have been there for so long.

According to this, the DG chapter at UCF closed on December 10, 2006.

The DG chapter members themselves made the decision to close. The good news is that since they were not closed by their nationals, there would be a more immediate opportunity for recolonization when UCF conducts future sorority expansion. DG is a great sorority, and I'm sure I speak for many UCF alumni and students when I say that I look forward to their return.
Bummer about Pi Kapp. I was a student when they colonized. They were really good guys back then. Hope they come to their senses and can come back.

What is the difference between "Suspended" and "Kicked off"?
According to a press release posted on Sigma Alpha Epsilon's IHQ web site:
"The chapter’s charter will remain suspended, not revoked, for an indefinite period of time. Depending on what university officials decide, Sigma Alpha Epsilon may choose to return with a new group of students in several years."

Perhaps it is the indefinate time period vs a specific one (such as four years or so?)

Why does it make a difference whether the chapter decided to close or national made the decision? I'm guessing it closed because of numbers?

Perhaps.
Frankly, "suspended" and "kicked off" are the same thing. As such, why is it necessary to make a distinction in the list above (i.e. two chapters were "suspended", one "kicked off" and add this chapter to "kicked off") if both end results are similar?
