Dear
I am in receipt of the recommendations of the University Discipline Committee with
regard to the hearing held on June 24, 2011. Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity was charged with
the following violations of MTSU rules:
Conduct Dangerous to Self or Others. Any conduct which constitutes a danger to
any person's health, safety, or personal well being including but not limited to
physical and/or verbal abuse;
threats and/or intimidation;
harassment of any kind; or
harm inflicted on self.
(p. 5, MTSU Rights and Responsibilities, 2010-2011.)
Disorderly Conduct. Any individual or group behavior which is abusive, obscene,
lewd, indecent, violent, excessively noisy, disorderly, or which unreasonably
disturbs other groups or individuals. (p. 5, MTSU Rights and Responsibilities,
2010-2011.)
Obstruction of or Interference with Institutional Activities or Facilities. Any
interference with or obstruction of any institutional activity, program, event, or
facilities. (p. 5, MTSU Rights and Responsibilities, 2010-2011.)
The Committee found you responsible for the above referenced charges.
The Committee recommended the following sanctions:
Suspension-Pi
Kappa Alpha Fraternity is suspended for three years, effective
immediately. The suspension includes non-recognition by the University,

prohibition from occupying the house, and prohibition from participation in any
school organization activities.
After the three year suspension, Pi Kappa Alpha National organization may apply
for reinstatement. If reinstated, the organization will be on probation for two
years. If there is any probation violation during the two years, the organization
will be permanently expelled from the University.
Failure to abide by these sanctions will result in further disciplinary action being taken
against the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity.
This will advise that based on my review of the record, I feel it is appropriate for me to
approve the recommendations of the Committee in this matter.
Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity has the right to appeal my decision to the Student Appeals
Committee. An appeal must be submitted in writing to the Office of the Assistant Dean
for Judicial Affairs and Mediation Services within forty-eight (48) hours of your receipt
of this communication affirming the recommendations of the University Discipline
Committee. I would suggest that you review the material relevant to appeals on p. 11 of
the Rights and Responsibilities of Students publication.
Please let me know if you have any questions concerning your status at MTSU.
