(BLOOMINGTON) - Indiana University Vice Provost for Student Affairs and Dean of Students announced Monday, the Interfraternity Council at Indiana University has voted to suspend activities.

Dr. Lori Reesor says the council voted to temporarily suspended fraternity social and new member activities.

"I commend these student leaders for their efforts and look forward to working with them to create a safer environment for all IU students," Reesor tweeted.

Dan Niersbach, president of the IU Student Association, also wrote about the decision on social media, noting the suspension would last until at least mid-spring.

"Now is the time to create real change in our Greek system and address the culture it creates," Niersbach wrote. "The IU Greek community will be safer and stronger."

In October, the national office of Sigma Nu suspended the IU chapter's charter over hazing and alcohol violations. The Delta Tau Delta house at IU also had its charter suspended by it's national officials in January.
