The University of Mississippi has suspended the Tau Eta chapter of Zeta
Phi Beta sorority for hazing, according to reports.
Thomas Wallace, vice chancellor of student life and associate professor of leadership, would not specify what happened. He was quoted in The Daily Mississippian student newspaper as saying hazing was involved. The school prohibits hazing in any form.
Sorority members have been removed from their house on Sorority Row and suspended from campus until the fall semester of 2008. The Ole Miss chapter was founded in 1976 and became the third historically black sorority on campus.
The sorority may petition for reinstatement in the fall of 2007, Wallace said.
