FURMAN, S.C. — A fraternity at a South Carolina university has been suspended for at least four years after it hosted a pair of parties that led to the spread of the coronavirus.
In a statement, Furman University says Kappa Alpha held parties at their fraternity house on Aug. 21 and Aug. 22 and nearly 60% of those who attended _ at least 29 students _ tested positive for the coronavirus.
The university says those who tested positive have been quarantined. Kappa Alpha will have a chance to appeal the decision.
The school says the fraternity's members will remain Furman students though all activities associated with the fraternity on or off campus must end.
