Indiana University placed the Theta Chi chapter on cease-and-desist status on September 16, 2026, citing alleged hazing, per the Indiana Daily Student. The same report noted IUPD observed drug paraphernalia while responding to a fire-alarm call at the chapter house; police did not confirm it was related to the restriction. No arrests or criminal charges were reported in connection with the cease-and-desist, and no individual member is publicly named. Cease-and-desist is a university administrative action, not a criminal proceeding. IDS counted Theta Chi among five IU fraternities restricted during September 2026.
