University of Maryland halts fraternity and sorority events amid hazing worries

College announces new member activities are suspended pending investigation of possible activities that threatened people's safety

Program activities of fraternities and sororities at the University of Maryland have been suspended indefinitely, the university announced.

The University of Maryland's decision comes after the University of Virginia suspended its Kappa Sigma chapter and all fraternity events following an alleged hazing incident last month which left a student injured.
