"We will not hesitate to pursue disciplinary action if members of our community disregard the protocols and public health orders designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Every one of us is responsible for abiding by the University, city and state's COVID-19 restrictions," said Chancellor Jeremy Haefner.

An investigation into the sororities' actions is now underway.

Haefner also noted in a letter to the university a majority of students and staff are following guidelines.
