FRANKLIN, Ind. — A fraternity at Franklin College is now closed.
The Phi Delta Theta Fraternity general council voted to suspend the charter.
The council cited the chapter’s risk management violations and failing chapter operations as reasons for its action.
As a result of the chapter’s suspension, the house was closed effective April 6. All members are required to move out and find alternate housing. Franklin is offering on-campus housing.
The college has previously taken action concerning certain students’ misconduct and is continuing to investigate allegations of student misconduct.
“While the college community is saddened by this news, it recognizes the national fraternity’s responsibility to uphold its standards and values,” said Franklin College President Thomas J. Minar. “Franklin College is committed to Greek organizations that live out the college’s mission and values.”
