Wiley College orders 'Greek life' to cease after hazing incident
MARSHALL — Wiley College has ordered all “Greek life” to immediately cease activities and remove all paraphernalia from campus after a report of a hazing incident in at least one of the organizations, according to a letter from Wiley College President Herman Felton Jr. on Thursday.
Felton wrote that the purpose of the moratorium is “to evaluate all Greek letter organizations on the campus to ensure they are upholding standards deemed acceptable for any student or student group.”
Felton gave fraternity and sorority members until Friday to take down and remove all Greek life-related items, symbols and signs, or the college would throw them away.
Clothing that promotes or represents a Greek organization also is banned, Felton said, along with Greek programs, off-campus parties and intake parties.
