The Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity has been disbanded from Indiana University Bloomington.
Following a hazing investigation from the university and a formal hearing, the university suspended the fraternity. IU’s Office of Student Life lists the suspension, effective Nov. 15, for dishonest conduct, endangering others, physical abuse and hazing.
The chapter will be eligible to return to campus during the fall 2027 semester, according to a statement from IU spokesperson Mark Bode.
"Indiana University Bloomington takes all reports of hazing seriously and strives to collaborate with students and organizations in a manner that prioritizes learning, community wellness, and safety," Bode said.
The fraternity was founded at Indiana University in 1911.
IU placed the fraternity on cease and desist in March 2023 and October 2023.
Kappa Alpha Psi’s national executive director did not respond to a request for comment.
IU has an anti-hazing policy 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 Life.
There are nine other suspended organizations at IU.
