Kappa Sigma’s interim suspension was lifted this past Wednesday April, 1. After collaborating with the fraternity’s national headquarters, the college concluded its investigation into the fraternity’s alleged hazing allegations.

This means that the fraternity can resume normal activities, including eating at the house without risk managers, hosting events, and holding its annual formal, which was initially canceled and is now rescheduled for May 1 and 2. 

Initial concerns regarding communication between the fraternity and the college administration have also lessened. Kappa Sigma’s president Will Capps ’27 noted the improvement. “I’ve been able to get in touch with everyone, and they’ve all been very timely,” Capps said. 

Sparked by a hazing complaint, the investigation lasted five weeks, beginning on Feb. 26. The “indefinite” suspension began on March 20. Jay Pfeifer, director of Media Relations, spoke to the gravity of these sorts of complaints on campus. 

“The health and safety of every Davidson College student is our highest priority, and the College takes hazing allegations very seriously,” wrote Pfeifer in an email to The Davidsonian. 

While the investigation is closed, the state of Kappa Sigma’s case regarding alleged hazing remains unknown. In an email to Capps, Mak Tompkins, director of Student Rights and Responsibilities, wrote: “The case remains open.” 

Further information regarding the case has not been provided publicly due to confidentiality concerns.
