The University of Oklahoma has found three fraternities responsible for hazing during the fall 2026 semester, according to reports published on the university's Stop Campus Hazing Act website.
Beta Upsilon Chi is the most recent case. An investigation into the fraternity's fall 2026 new member process substantiated violations of university policy, according to the report. The hazing incidents occurred between August and October 2026. The university received the report on Sept. 23, began its conduct process on Sept. 28 and resolved the case on Nov. 4.
Sigma Nu's case was resolved on Oct. 14. The university's investigation confirmed the fraternity facilitated "BASICS," which the report described as a structured system of personal servitude and coerced domestic labor for active members. Those incidents also spanned August through October 2026 and were reported to the university on Sept. 21.
Pi Kappa Alpha's case was the first resolved, on Sept. 16. The report states the fraternity deviated from its new member education by incorporating physical exercises into new member activities. New members were also required to be at the chapter facility when not in class. Those incidents occurred between August and September 2026 and were first reported to the university on Aug. 29 and Aug. 31.
The reports are published under the federal Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA), which requires colleges participating in federal student aid programs to disclose detailed, incident-specific information when a registered student organization has been found responsible for hazing.
According to OU, the three fraternities were sanctioned with disciplinary probation, a hazing education workshop and a revised new member education plan. The university's website also lists additional older cases, including Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Delta Theta, resolved before the fall 2026 semester. Beginning with its Oct. 1, 2026 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, the university included aggregated hazing data under the Clery Act.
