West Virginia University suspends fraternity, sorority activities

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia University has suspended social and pledging activities at its campus-affiliated fraternities and sororities following two recent incidents.

"The action to halt fraternity and sorority activities while these matters are being reviewed is being done with the well-being and safety of our students in mind. That is - and must always be - our foremost priority," WVU Dean of Students Corey Farris said in a statement released jointly with the Inter-Fraternity Council and Panhellenic Council.

WVU says an undisclosed medical emergency occurred Thursday at a fraternity house. The university said a student is gravely ill but didn't disclose details.

On Nov. 6, 19 students were arrested or cited on alcohol-related charges after a disturbance at the Sigma Chi fraternity house, according to CBS affiliate WDTV in Bridgeport, West Virginia. The fraternity was suspended days later.
