University Of Florida Sorority Suspended For Hazing
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: April 2, 2009
GAINESVILLE - The University of Florida has suspended a sorority for hazing violations.
Florida records show the university's 18-member chapter of Sigma Lambda Gamma made pledges follow 37 rules that included restrictions against using elevators or cutting through grass on campus. One pledge became sick after performing required physical activities such as push-ups and running.
The university's Greek Judicial Board in February recommended a yearlong suspension followed by a year of probation. But Sigma Lambda Gamma's national organization pulled the chapter's charter for five years, meaning the sorority is suspended from Florida until at least 2014.
Former chapter president Danielle Pechac says the longer punishment wasn't fair.
