The UW-Madison Committee on Student Organizations suspended the Sigma Chi fraternity chapter Monday for an alleged violation of alcohol restrictions.
According to university officials, the incident occurred on the night of April 2 and continued into the early hours of April 3.
The investigation will be conducted by officials from the Offices of the Dean of Students on behalf of the Committee on Student Organizations.
John Lucas, UW-Madison spokesperson, said the suspension is unrelated to the fraternity's recent sexual assault allegations.
The suspension terms stem from the Policy on the Conduct and Discipline of Registered Student Organizations.
According to the policy, student organizations ""are not exempt from discipline for such actions under this Policy that constitute violations of federal, state or local laws, and may be subject to additional action by an appropriate judicial body.""
The policy also states that students are responsible for abiding by University Beverage Regulations, state statues and city ordinances ""regarding possession, consumption and sale of alcohol beverages.""
Lucas said the investigation is still ongoing and there is no other information available.
