Arizona’s Delta Sigma Phi Booted From Campus Until 2018
Less than 24 hours after LSU’s Acacia chapter was removed from campus for hazing, a chapter at the University of Arizona is finding themselves facing the same fate.
Arizona’s Delta Sigma Phi chapter was removed from campus on Thursday after an investigation surrounding a fraternity event that occurred on January 31. According to reports, the main allegation was an incident involving alcohol hazing that led to the incapacitation of several pledges.
From Arizona Daily Star:
At least two new members passed out, several vomited and one lost control of his bodily functions during the Jan. 31 incident that occurred while Delta Sigma Phi was under an alcohol ban and already on probation for previous misconduct.
The pledges reportedly referred to the three actives who are responsible for the incident as “sociopaths.” The chapter’s list of charges was slightly fluffed with fewer serious allegations, such as providing alcohol to minors, making pledges clean the house and, calling the actives “sir.”
The national organization had the following comment regarding the chapter’s dismissal from campus.
“Despite the chapter’s strengths, poor decision-making and repeated disregard for the fraternity’s policies on alcohol use and hazing ultimately prompted a strong response,” said a news release from the national headquarters.
“The fraternity cannot, and will not, tolerate blatant disregard toward our policies and standards,” it said.
With the removal of Delta Sigma Phi, six fraternities have now been kicked off of the University of Arizona’s campus since 2012.
The chapter may apply for reinstatement in May 2018 as long as all current members are gone..

I think I know why all this is happening…think about it, if the intern continues to put up Fail Friday so late, we have no other recourse than to drink and haze, resulting in a large number of these incidents! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD INTERN PUT UP FAIL FRIDAY ON TIME

11 years ago at 9:52 amThis month just keeps getting worse and worse for the Greek community nationwide. Damn shame.
11 years ago at 9:55 amI might get lapped for this but forcing alcohol down a pledge throat (or butt in some cases) till they are in serious danger is just wrong. Making them clean the house and call actives sir is a character building and there’s nothing wrong with that. Know the fine line between hazing and endangering lives.
11 years ago at 9:56 amMaking the pledges call you “sir” is definately a TFM.
11 years ago at 9:56 amDefinitely*
11 years ago at 9:59 amThe pledges should have known that you will have to clean and address actives as sir at a minimum going into the whole process. These pussies are in for a wake up call after graduation.
11 years ago at 10:10 amWhen I served as pledge educator, they had to call me “Oh captain my captain.” Sir is pretty fucking standard. Like the military. You begin and end every sentence addressing a brother with sir.
11 years ago at 10:50 amYes. You’re fraternity was just like the military.
11 years ago at 10:57 amTFM has basically become a site completely devoted to tits (IGBOTD) and sad fraternity stories.
11 years ago at 9:56 amHaving the pledges refer to you as a sociopath.TFM
11 years ago at 9:57 amSomething tells me the “sociopaths” of this story will still likely be getting as drunk as ever around Tucson well into 2018.
11 years ago at 9:58 amIt’s Arizona, there’s zero chance all current members have graduated by 2018.
11 years ago at 9:58 amI hope I’m still here in 2018
11 years ago at 2:09 pmSame
11 years ago at 12:33 amForcing pledges to drink until they shit themselves is beyond irresponsible. Mind fucking them on a daily basis builds character and won’t get you booted.
