An investigation is underway at a Florida university after two fraternities were suspended for serious hazing allegations.

The University of Central Florida has suspended fraternities Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon after multiple reports of “dangerous and degrading” hazing, a school official said in a statement shared with WKMG.

According to an incident report obtained by the Orlando Sentinel, fraternity brothers at Sigma Chi allegedly hit pledges with a car as part of a hazing ritual.

The suspensions follow last month’s action against Phi Gamma Delta for alleged antisemitism, which reportedly involved “the use of hate symbols.” 

“UCF unequivocally condemns hazing in all forms, and we are committed to holding individuals and organizations accountable for actions that threaten the safety and well-being of our students and others,” Courtney Gilmartin, assistant vice president of strategic initiatives and communications, told WKMG. 

Gilmartin added that the fraternities’ suspensions barred them from on- and off-campus activities, including recruitment and social events.

Fox News Digital reached out to the university for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
