SU suspends Alpha Chi Rho, all fraternity social activities By Casey Darnell news editor
Editor’s note: This article details the usage of racial slurs. Syracuse University has suspended all social activities of fraternities on campus after members and guests of a fraternity yelled a racial epithet at a black woman on Saturday night.
Chancellor Kent Syverud announced the decision in a campus-wide email sent around 6:13 a.m. on Sunday. The fraternity involved was suspended. Social activities at all fraternities were suspended for the rest of the fall 2019 semester as of 4 a.m. Sunday. SU’s chapter of the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity has been suspended, according to the website for the Office
of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. That is the only change in chapter status listed after SU announced a fraternity was suspended for a racist incident near College Place. Alpha Chi Rho is located at 131 College Place. The Department of Public Safety announced Saturday night that a group of individuals were yelling the N-word near College Place as the woman walked by. The department
has “substantial evidence,” including camera footage, eyewitness accounts and interviews, Syverud said. Those responsible will be held accountable to the Code of Student Conduct and to the law, he said. At least 10 hate crimes or biasrelated incidents have been reported on or near SU’s campus since Nov. 7, including racist graffiti against black and Asian students.
