[Important Information for Plattsburgh Campus Students] Activities of Fraternity Suspended

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

The Chi Phi fraternity has been issued a cease and desist activities order,
which stops its functioning as a campus student organization. The
fraternity was found to have allegedly violated campus standards and laws
related to alcohol and social gatherings at their off-campus house.

A campus judicial process will determine the future of the fraternity, as
well as the enrollment status of its member students. Students will face
charges related to these violations and these will be brought to the
Student Conduct Office.

Our COVID case numbers remain low and we continue to ask each of you to
stay safe and be caring about protecting yourself and each other. We are
serious about the health and safety of the campus community.

A reminder: Gatherings of more than 10 people, inside or outside private
residences, are illegal. If we learn of these or other violations of
COVID-19 safety rules, the sanctions can be severe.

In addition to fines of up to $2,000 for an arrest, campus sanctions can
include electronically deactivated card access, revoked parking passes,
towed vehicles, loss of housing privileges, suspension from the college,
and even dismissal. Clubs, organizations, and athletic teams can receive
reprimands including withdrawal of recognition or forfeiture of the group
status for the entire semester or longer.

I am thankful for the work of University Police and the Student Conduct
Office.

Our 13 weeks of in-person classes are created for all of our students --
for their success and for their future. Please continue the exemplary work
to help keep our campus and community safe and healthy.

Dr. Alexander Enyedi
President
