Summary of incident
Indiana University placed the Beta Theta Pi chapter on cease-and-desist status on September 25, 2026, citing alleged hazing and failure to comply with university officials' directions, per the Indiana Daily Student. IUPD received a report on September 21 about alleged hazing at the house on September 17, and the case was referred to university officials for review; the investigation was ongoing. The cited reporting does not name an individual member and reports no arrests or criminal charges. Cease-and-desist is a university administrative action, not a criminal proceeding. IDS counted Beta Theta Pi among five IU fraternities restricted during September 2026.
