ORLANDO, Fla. – Two fraternities have closed their University of Central Florida chapters amid reports of hazing incidents.

In an email sent to the Greek community on Monday, UCF addressed “serious and disturbing” hazing allegations that surfaced earlier this year.

In February, the university shared that investigations by UCF Police had substantiated allegations of hazing involving the Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon chapters. However, due to a lack of cooperating victims, criminal charges could not be pursued.

As a result of these investigations, both Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon have closed their UCF chapters.

“Individual members of these chapters believed to have participated in hazing activities are subject to the individual student conduct process, as outlined in the Golden Rule, and their memberships are being reviewed by the national organizations,” the email states.

UCF leadership said it has been actively collaborating with the national headquarters of these chapters to ensure accountability and transparency.

The email also included UCF’s anti-hazing stance on Greek life.

“It undermines the values of scholarship, ethical leadership, service, and community that Greek chapters are meant to uphold. The national chapters’ efforts to do the right thing shows a level of integrity that we hope will serve as an example to others. It also establishes a pathway toward an eventual return to UCF for these organizations built on a foundation of leadership and values.”
