The Ohio Beta chapter of Phi Delta Theta at Ohio Wesleyan has been suspended for three years, effective immediately, according to an email sent out by Dwyane Todd, vice president for student engagement and success. The “Phi Delt” house is being vacated, and the current occupants will be relocated to other campus housing facilities. The 32 active members will be designated as alumni members.
The decision was made following careful deliberation among the fraternity’s international staff and officials, local alumni advisors, and University personnel.
According to Ohio Wesleyan president Rock Jones, numerous attempts were made to correct the pattern of misconduct, but to no avail.
“Numerous conduct meetings were held with members of the chapter’s executive officers in an effort to address concerns, but those efforts were unsuccessful. Seeing a pattern of misconduct and a declining commitment to the values expected of members, the decision was made by the national fraternity, the alumni advisors and the university to suspend the Ohio Beta Chapter for three years,” Jones said.
Interesting. Phi Kaooa Psi got 4 years. Phi Delt gets 3. I guess Rock is finally letting up on fraternities. 😂.
Don’t blame it on Rock. It is the fault of the Phi Delts. Their unruly and negative behavior has been going on for sometime. The residents of Oak Hill Avenue are now giving a sighing of relief because they are gone.
