Virginia Commonwealth University has expelled Delta Chi fraternity for violations that allegedly led to the death of a student.
In a statement released Thursday, university officials said they found that the fraternity violated policies on hazing, alcohol, and COVID-19 in the run-up to the death of Adam Oakes.
The 19-year-old was found dead in late February in off-campus housing. A medical examiner said last week it was caused by alcohol poisoning.
Richmond police are still investigating the case.
VCU has hired a consulting firm to issue a report on the school’s fraternity and sorority community this summer.
