During the probation, which extends through May 15, 2011, all sorority events must be alcohol-free and the group is prohibited from holding events off campus.
The discipline goes above and beyond sanctions placed on the local chapter by the international office of the sorority. Alpha Phi International placed the chapter on probation on April 5, limiting the group to holding only alcohol-free events and requiring alcohol education sessions.
Sister Annette Schmeling, R.S.C.J., vice president for student development and dean of students, said the sorority is cooperating fully with the disciplinary process.
"The University community is holding these women accountable for their behavior," said Schmeling. "The disciplinary action holds them responsible and at the same time, leads them to grow and learn from their mistakes."
