University of Wisconsin-Madison officials have suspended a fraternity chapter for serving alcohol to minors.
The university announced Tuesday that the Sigma Chi chapter will be suspended until March 1 after the Committee on Student Organizations found the chapter violated the Student Organization Code of Conduct.
According to a university news release, the fraternity served or permitted the serving of alcohol to minors at a chapter function in October and has a history of previous violations. The release did not elaborate.
The suspension means the chapter is barred from holding events and activities and from operating as a registered student organization. Once the suspension ends the chapter will be on probation with no alcohol allowed at any events until May 8.
