IU fraternity Delta Upsilon had all organizational activities suspended Wednesday, according to the Division of Student Affairs. The chapter was placed on cease and desist for endangering others and hazing.
Cease and desist means the chapter is suspended from all activities until further notice and is enacted when there is an immediate threat or ongoing investigation of a chapter. While on cease and desist, an organization may not engage in social events, recruitment or new member activities. Any organization activity may lead to the chapter disbanding.
This comes as Greek houses prepare for homecoming events beginning next week.
This is the second fraternity placed on cease and desist this week, and the fourth this semester. There are eight organizations on suspension, meaning the chapters are disbanded. There are six organizations on disciplinary probation.

The chapter was previously placed on elevated disciplinary probation earlier this year for hazing and is on probation through May 2025. The chapter has six other instances of disciplinary action since 2018.
The chapter has not responded to requests for comment.
Indiana University has an anti-hazing policy listed in its code of conduct. The university defines hazing as anything that could endanger, abuse, degrade or intimidate someone in a group. Students can report hazing through the Office of Student Conduct.
