University of Idaho spokesperson Jodi Walker confirmed three University of Idaho Greek chapters have been put on temporary suspension in response to recent unknown incidents.
The houses under national and campus suspensions include Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, Delta Gamma Sorority and Alpha Phi Sorority, Walker said. No additional suspensions are known, nor what complaints prompted the temporary ban.
The suspended chapters are not allowed to participate in any social events, programs or intramurals without prior approval from UI Fraternity and Sorority Life, Walker said.
Delta Gamma was suspended Oct. 2, while Delta Tau Delta and Alpha Phi were both put on suspension Oct. 5, she said.
Shawn Dowiak, director of Fraternity and Sorority Life, said he could not comment at this time. The interim suspension will continue until UI can provide the “safest environment possible,” Walker said. Any decisions made as a result of the investigation will also be made at this point, she said.
Presidents for each of the suspended chapters and their national associations could not be immediately reached for comment.
Delta Tau Delta President Devyn DeLeon told the Argonaut he plans to release a statement Thursday.
