The Inter-Fraternity Council’s Judicial Committee deliberated over AU fraternity Phi Sigma Kappa’s pending charges Wednesday night but their decision is yet to be released to the public.
PSK was informed of the decision shortly after the hearing, according to Adam Tager, IFC public relations chair.
Upon inquiry, the IFC members on the committee would not comment on the issue. Coordinator of Greek Life Curtis Burrill said he thought it would be unethical to release the hearing’s results to The Eagle before the fraternity.
The PSK brothers who testified were cooperative throughout the hearing, IFC President Seth Gilroy said.
The IFC released the following statement to The Eagle:
“[T]he Judicial Board has reached a decision in the matter of the charges brought against Phi Sigma Kappa,” it said. “At this time, Phi Sigma Kappa is being notified. The specifics regarding the situation are not being released yet, pending notification to the Brothers of Phi Sigma Kappa and all those directly effected [sic]... As soon as the Phi Sigma Kappa is notified, the IFC will make the decision public.”
The hearing was delayed by approximately two weeks due to D.C.’s recent historical snowstorms.
PSK was charged with distributing alcohol during a recruitment event, holding an alternative event during another fraternity’s rush time, holding and distributing alcohol at a recruitment event not recognized by the university, breaching social function guidelines, posting unauthorized flyers and for conduct “unbecoming a fraternal organization,” The Eagle previously reported. If convicted, PSK had the potential to lose its pledge class.
