Two Greek orgs break CU, Panhellenic rules

Two Greek organizations, sorority Theta Phi Alpha and fraternity Phi Kappa Psi, could face disciplinary action because of alleged alcohol-related incidents during recruitment.

The fraternity Phi Kappa Psi had to stop Greek activity until members meet with Student Services next week. Multiple sources report one recruit was sent to CARE during recruitment last week due to over-intoxication on campus.

Phi Psi is not officially suspended, but university officials decided the fraternity’s date party last Saturday would be cancelled and all activity was to cease until the issue was resolved. Members of Phi Psi have a meeting next Tuesday with Sara Carter, assistant director of the Center for Student Integrity and Greek Life hearing officer.

The Creightonian tried to contact Carter by e-mail, but she is out of the office until Monday.

While John Huston, president of Phi Psi, officially had no comment, he said that this situation was specific to the individual and that the fraternity as a whole is not at fault.

“Creighton’s policy on this sort of thing is that we are guilty until proven innocent,” Huston said. “A lot of time is spent defending ourselves.”

Theta Phi Alpha also faced disciplinary action during recruitment, but not from the university. The sorority was working with Creighton’s Pan-Hellenic Council because several active underage members were reported for going to a party where there was alcohol,which is against Panhellenic rules.

“Any recruitment violations are internal matters and we do not wish to comment at this time,” said Mara Clements, president of Theta Phi Alpha, in an e-mail statement. “Our main focus right now is our pledge class of 50 girls who can’t wait to begin their Creighton Greek experience.”

The sorority was suspended from campus for more than two years because of alcohol-related violations of campus policy. They were not allowed to recruit, banned from wearing their Greek letters, barred from having any on-campus activity, and all but select members were asked to become early alumni.

Eric Immel, assistant director for Greek Life, declined comment on both Greek organizations.

“The disciplinary status of any student organization is a private matter, and as such, inappropriate for me to share,” he said in an e-mail statement.

Members of Panhellenic council declined to comment.
