UCF halts greek activities for now

UCF Greek organizations (Jonathan Beaton)

More than 3,100 UCF students participate in fraternity or sorority events on campus, but the school is concerned about putting an end to hazing and alcohol being involved as well.

UCF Vice President Maribeth Ehasz sent an email to all members of greek organizations on campus today.

The university also issued a statement: "Chapter activities will resume when we are satisfied that our Greek culture reflects the values of the UCF creed and, more importantly, that we can ensure compliance with laws and university regulations governing hazing and alcohol."

The 48 recognized Greek organizations on campus are being encouraged to talk about these two issues.

A non-greek student on campus told us he agrees with the decision to crack down on "boozing."

"I've heard about all the hazing going on. They need to be locked down. Make sure they're not doing crazy stuff," he said.

We are continuing to gather reaction on campus. Feel free to comment below and return for additional updates on this developing story.
