Fraternity Phi Sigma Kappa has been placed on cease and desist. It is located at 1400 N Jordan Ave.

Indiana University has placed fraternity Phi Sigma Kappa on cease and desist for hazing, endangering others, and non-compliance with the Indiana University Office of Student Life social events policy, according to the IU Office of Student Life.

Phi Sigma Kappa is the first fraternity to be placed on cease and desist during October, but the sixth during the fall semester.

The other five are Sigma Nu, Beta Theta Pi, Pi Kappa Phi, Theta Chi, and Delta Tau Delta. Fraternity Phi Kappa Psi has been on cease and desist since October of last year.
Phi Sigma Kappa had previously been put on cease and desist in March 2025 for endangering others.

The Office of Student Life defines a cease-and-desist order as “an interim measure placed upon certain aspects of chapter operations when there is an immediate threat or ongoing investigation.”

This means that the fraternities cannot have any organized activities until further notice.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
