In an email sent to the Greek community on Monday, UCF addressed “serious and disturbing” hazing allegations that surfaced earlier this year.

The University of Central Florida suspended two fraternities as it investigates multiple reports of “dangerous and degrading” hazing incidents, a school spokesperson said Tuesday.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Brothers of the University of Central Florida’s chapter of Sigma Chi are accused of forcing a blindfolded pledge to do cocaine in order to join the fraternity, according to documents from the school. An incident reporting form says the forced drug use happened the afternoon of Oct. 26. A university spokesman said that effective Nov. 25, Sigma Chi was placed on suspension for the remainder of the fall 2019 and the spring 2020 semesters for an unrelated incident. Sigma Chi did not commit disruptive conduct, alcohol-related misconduct or drug-related misconduct, records show. While on suspension, the fraternity cannot participate in on or off-campus events, intramurals, socials or mixers.
