The University of Missouri has suspended all fraternity activities after a freshman was found unresponsive Wednesday after a frat party and taken to the hospital.
The University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, has suspended all fraternity activities after a freshman was found unresponsive and after a frat party, school officials said.
Police responded early Wednesday to the local Phi Gamma Delta house after the student was transported to University Hospital, school officials said. Several members of the fraternity are believed to have "consumed significant amounts of alcohol" during the party, school officials said.
The university's police department and its Office of Student Accountability and Support are investigating the incident and criminal charges could be considered, according to Bill Stackman, vice chancellor for student affairs at the University of Missouri.
"We are extremely concerned about the events that were occurring at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity," Stackman said in a statement. "As part of the investigations, we will hold anyone accountable who is found to have willfully ignored or violated university regulations. Those individuals could also face criminal charges."
