Last week, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Interfraternity Council suspended the Pi Kappa Alpha Chapter from campus for five years after it violated its probation that prohibited them from hosting any sort of gathering. The Pi Kappa Alpha Chapter held an “informal formal” that involved 15 members of the fraternity. The Chapter will be able to return to campus in 2023, under a probation status.
