"University of Maryland Takes Action Against Greek Life Amid Safety Concerns"

The University of Maryland has suspended all social and recruitment events for its fraternities and sororities due to reports of unsafe activities, instructing them to have no contact with new or prospective members and to refrain from hosting events with alcohol. This action follows a similar suspension at the University of Virginia after an alleged hazing incident. The University of Maryland's suspension will remain in place indefinitely while an investigation is conducted, and comes in the wake of increased scrutiny on Greek life following incidents such as the death of Virginia Commonwealth University student Adam Oakes in 2021.
