FAMU suspends ΔΣΘ chapter for three years

By the time that the Beta Alpha Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta returns to FAMU, the country will be just months away from voting on U.S. President Barack Obama’s replacement.

FAMU officials have suspended the student organization for three years. Young Rattler women who wish to become Deltas will have to wait until June 30, 2016.

Back in February, FAMU placed the Delta chapter on inactive status after receiving a report about an alleged, off-campus hazing incident within the group. The accusations were submitted through FAMU’s anti-hazing website.

All of the alleged hazing victims who spoke to the Leon County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) deputies said that no one hazed them. LCSO closed the case with no charges filed.

FAMU still executed non-criminal disciplinary action against an undisclosed number of members of Deltas by suspending them from school.

The FAMU chapter of Gamma Sigma Sigma National Service Sorority, which was also on inactive status for a number of months, is now also on official suspension. It will remain off-the-yard until June 30, 2014.
