Binghamton University has ordered all Greek organizations to immediately halt any new member initiation. Citing an “alarmingly high number of serious hazing complaints this spring,” and “the serious physical and psychological health risk to all involved,” administrators have put pledging on hiatus for the entirety of the semester while BU conducts a full hazing investigation.

An email from Sunni Solomon, assistant director of Greek Life, was sent to members of fraternities and sororities yesterday informing them of the University’s decision to immediately halt any new member initiation. The email has been obtained by Pipe Dream and is embedded below.
