University of Maryland investigates hazing and alcohol abuse at fraternities and sororities, suspending Greek life activities temporarily.

The University of Maryland is investigating allegations of hazing and alcohol abuse at fraternities and sororities on campus. Court documents reveal that pledges were forced to drink excessive amounts of alcohol, beaten, burned with cigarettes, and made to eat live fish. The university temporarily suspended Greek life activities, but later lifted the suspension for most chapters while five remain under investigation.
