VCU Suspends Phi Kappa Psi for 4 Years | Richmond News

VCU just handed Phi Kappa Psi a four-year suspension—until August 2029—after uncovering serious hazing, assault, and health risks, including forcing pledges to eat cat food and onions. The fraternity failed to follow its own safety protocols and lacks accountability leadership. This is their third suspension since 2021, following prior incidents involving abuse and alcohol poisoning. The move comes under “Adam’s Law,” enacted after freshman Adam Oakes died from alcohol poisoning at a fraternity event in 2021, requiring Virginia schools to publicly report hazing. While the organization is banned from campus operations, individual members may still face separate disciplinary actions.
