U of O fraternity suspended until 2021 for hazing

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – The University of Oregon chapter of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity has been suspended for the next two years following a university investigation of hazing.

The Register-Guard reported Wednesday the local chapter of Epsilon Omega lost its recognition by the university and all privileges associated with it until June 2021.

The chapter was placed on temporary suspension in April.

The fraternity’s national headquarters has since served a cease-and-desist order to the chapter.

The University of Oregon Fraternity and Sorority Life conduct website shows it’s the fourth fraternity at the university currently placed on suspension or probation for hazing. Phi Kappa Psi is on suspension until fall 2020. Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Chi are both on disciplinary probation until June 2020.

The website lists Alpha Epsilon Pi as suspended for hazing, prohibited alcohol, prohibited drugs and failure to comply.
