UO recommended to the fraternity’s national organization to disband the chapter, and UO will hold students “individually accountable” under the Student Conduct Code for any reported activities, a university spokesperson said.
The University of Oregon on Friday suspended and disaffiliated the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity through winter 2030 after an investigation determined the organization violated university policies.
The violations include hazing, safety hazard, furnishing alcohol to minors, “retaliation or obstruction” and theft, UO spokesperson Angela Seydel said in a statement.
During Delta Sigma Phi’s suspension, the group is banned from operating or representing itself as a recognized UO student organization and from participating in campus activities and events.
The suspension also involves a university recommendation to the fraternity’s national organization to disband the chapter and revoke its charter, according to UO Greek life rules. Delta Sigma Phi can apply for re-recognition no earlier than spring 2030.
Upon the fraternity’s disaffiliation, UO will hold students “individually accountable” under the Student Conduct Code for any reported activities, Seydel said. She added that no additional details are available at this time.
“The safety and well-being of students is the university’s top priority,” Seydel said. “Hazing, retaliation, and behaviors that endanger community members or undermine accountability will not be tolerated.”
University officials temporarily suspended Delta Sigma Phi in early November — an “interim action” that the university takes when “immediately necessary” to secure people’s health or safety, and when there is an alleged violation of the Student Conduct Code.
The fraternity was already on disciplinary probation until February 2027 for three code violations stemming from the group’s 2024 co-hosting of an event that was “improperly registered” as being alcohol-free.
“We are disappointed by the outcome and the impact it will have on our members,” Delta Sigma Phi chapter president Jaden Wolfe said in an email to Lookout Eugene-Springfield. “While we may not agree with the university’s decision, our primary goal is to support the 180+ men that have called this fraternity home.”
Representatives for the national organization did not immediately return requests for comment.
