The party’s over for Rutgers University’s frats and sororities — at least for the rest of the spring semester.
“Rutgers takes seriously its commitment to maintaining a healthy and safe campus environment,” the massive New Jersey university said in a statement.
“In light of a number of alcohol-related incidents this year involving Greek organizations,” however, the school has put the kibosh on any more campus parties where the alcohol flows freely.
Events with licensed third-party vendors are still allowed — but parties in frat houses are banned.
Rutgers has 65,000 students spread among several campuses; the main campus is in New Brunswick, N.J. There are 86 recognized fraternities and sororities.
Like many other schools across America, the 2014-15 school year has seen major negative attention on the student groups.
The ban comes after a difficult year for fraternities and sororities at Rutgers.
