Yesterday Morgan State University released a press statement that confirmed the Alpha Iota Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. would be on probation until Fall 2015. The state reads,“The Alpha Iota chapter of Kappa Alpha has been determined to have violated certain university regulations, procedures and policies,” the statement reads. “As a result, the chapter has been placed on disciplinary probation until fall 2015. During the probationary period, the chapter cannot register as an official organization or student group with the university. The chapter cannot participate in any university sponsored event or activity, and cannot sponsor or host any event on or off campus.”
The decision was followed behind accusations from Morgan student Brian Stewart was denied membership from the organization because he is gay. Newly initiated members still wore their paraphernalia to introduce themselves to the campus.
