BLOOMINGTON – Indiana University’s Sigma Delta Tau sorority has been placed on a cease and desist status following allegations of hazing, according to the Office of Student Life’s website. This action suspends all organizational activities pending further notice.

A cease and desist order is a disciplinary measure the university employs when an immediate threat or ongoing investigation exists. It can lead to disciplinary probation, where violations or further misconduct may result in more severe consequences, such as suspension or expulsion.
Sigma Delta Tau is one of three organizations currently on cease and desist. The Indiana Student Association at Indiana University was added to the list on October 1st for hazing and alcohol violations, and the Sigma Chi fraternity was added on November 6th for hazing.
In addition, the university currently suspended eight other organizations, including Kappa Alpha Psi, suspended on November 15th for dishonest conduct, endangering others, physical abuse, and hazing.
