Both the local chapter and the Alpha Gamma Rho National Fraternity have been working closely with the Office of Student Accountability and Conflict Response to develop a comprehensive reeducation plan to realign the chapter with the fraternity’s values and principles as well as the university’s expectations for student organizations,” the university said in a written statement. “The National Fraternity has agreed to facilitate educational opportunities for individual students who wish to continue their membership with the group when the suspension is lifted.”
