Indiana University placed three Greek organizations on cease and desist last week, according to the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life. 

Delta Upsilon stopped all organization activities on Nov. 2 after IUPD responded to an event on Oct. 31, according to IU spokesperson Chuck Carney. Sigma Pi suspended activities on Nov. 5 after suspected violation of COVID-related university polices relating to a large gathering.

Sigma Chi national headquarters ordered the IU chapter to suspend activities on Nov. 5. IU followed on Nov. 6.

The Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life defines on its website cease and desist as “an interim measure placed upon certain aspects of chapter operations when there is an immediate threat or ongoing investigation.”

Carney said the university is following “normal procedures” as they investigate these situations.

IU previously placed Sigma Alpha Mu on cease and desist on Oct. 26 for violating public health regulations and restrictions.
