Fraternities Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Beta Theta Pi are currently on social probation along with Lambda Chi Alpha and Zeta Beta Tau, according to Megan Pendley-Pickett, director of Student Activities. The Greek Judicial Council held hearings on Friday, Jan. 18.

“The hearings were held to adjudicate alleged violations of the Honor Code and Greek Council policies,” said Pendley-Pickett.

Roman Valencia, a member of the Greek Judicial Council and Multi-Cultural Greek Council President, said said social probation is a way for fraternities “to atone for the damage they have caused to the image of the University of Denver and all of its students.”

“Social probation is not strictly a punitive measure but as stated earlier a chance for the chapter committing the infraction to have time for penance,” said Valencia.

J.P. Griego, president of Beta Theta Pi, said the fraternity’s mission is “to be compliant and up to date with all Greek Life policies and procedures.”

“We look forward to working with the newly-elected Greek Council,” said Griego.
