Conduct Status

Below you will find information regarding the status of each chapter (as of 6/1/2026) based on findings determined through a review by Student Conduct through either an agreed resolution or formal hearing. An "active sanction status" can include any of the following statuses:

Probation:

A specified period of time during which the student or student organization is considered not in good conduct standing with the university. Further violations during that time period may result in more serious conduct action, including a potential separation from the university.

Deferred Suspension:

A specified period of time during which the student or student organization is considered not in good conduct standing with the university. Violations for which deferred suspension is assigned are those that are serious enough to warrant suspension from the university, but due to mitigating factors, the student or student organization is given the opportunity to remain enrolled at the university, provided they do not violate further policies. The suspension may take effect if they violate additional policies during the period of deferred suspension.

Interim Measures: Based on the nature and circumstances of the referral, the university may authorize interim measures or take administrative action to maintain safety and order and to ensure compliance with university processes and directives, including the following:

Interim Suspension:

The university retains the authority to impose an interim (immediate) suspension from the university and/or selected campus facilities with proper notice if such action is necessary to preserve the safety of persons or property. During an interim suspension, [the organization] may not participate in academic, extracurricular, or other activities of the university except as may be authorized by the Vice President for Student Affairs or their designee. In this instance, [the organization] will be afforded an interim suspension meeting and the opportunity to show why their continued presence on campus does not constitute a threat to themselves, others, or property. The interim suspension meeting is separate from the student conduct process. [The organization] will have five (5) business days within which to request an interim-suspension meeting, should they desire one be held, by contacting the appropriate office as designated in the notice of interim suspension. An opportunity to meet with Student Conduct for a final resolution will be provided as soon as possible.

Cease Operations:

In certain situations involving allegations of policy violations by student organizations that may involve potential impacts on the safety of persons or property or significant disruption to the community, Student Conduct may issue a cease operations order, which places restrictions on the organization while the matter is resolved. Examples of situations in which cease operations are issued include but are not limited to the following: hazing; alcohol distributed to underage members or guests; and disorderly or disruptive behavior, such as serious or ongoing violations of noise regulations in the Town of Blacksburg. The cease operations will remain in place until the matter is resolved by Student Conduct. Cease operations restrictions may include but are not limited to the following: The organization is to stop operating in full, including meetings, communication, events, etc.; The organization is to stop hosting events with alcohol present; The organization is to stop recruitment or holding meetings, events, or activities with new or prospective members.
