According to the University of Toledo website, Pi Kappa Phi is the fastest growing national fraternity and is among the “Top 10” of all national fraternities. They have also won five of the last seven Songfests. It was founded at the University of Toledo in 1951 and nationally in 1904. The fraternity is currently placed under suspension for hazing allegations until further information can be found.

The University of Toledo’s chapter of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity is under investigation for an allegation of an undisclosed form of hazing.

According to NBC 24, an anonymous tip was sent to their newsroom Wednesday, April 22 that reported supposed hazing.

“The University of Toledo is in contact with the national Pi Kappa Phi fraternity regarding an anonymous tip that is being investigated alleging hazing during initiation week at the local Beta Iota Chapter,” said Jon Strunk, UT spokesman. “UT has zero tolerance for hazing, bullying or harassment. Should any be found to have occurred, UT will take appropriate disciplinary action.”

NBC 24 said the national chapter of Pi Kappa Phi has placed a temporary suspension on the fraternity in order to investigate the incident.
