BLOOMINGTON — The IU chapter of Sigma Delta Tau sorority is on cease and desist for hazing allegations, according to the Office of Student Life’s website. All activities of the organization are suspended until further notice.
Cease and desist is a disciplinary measure used by the university when there is an immediate threat or ongoing investigation. This may result in disciplinary probation, in which any violation of the conditions, or any further acts of misconduct, will result in additional disciplinary actions like suspension or expulsion from the university.
IU Spokesperson Mark Bode said the investigation remains open.

Two other organization are on cease and desist, according to OSL. The Indian Student Association at Indiana University was added to the list on Oct. 1 for hazing and alcohol violations.
Sigma Chi fraternity was added on Nov. 6 for hazing.
Eight organizations are under suspension from the university, including most recently Kappa Alpha Psi, which was suspended on Nov. 15 for dishonest conduct, endangering others, physical abuse and hazing.
Sigma Delta Tau was previously on disciplinary probation from May 11, 2021 through Feb. 11, 2022 for endangering others, alcohol, failure to comply with university and county COVID-19 directives, and non-compliance with OSFL Policies.
