An East Carolina University fraternity is out of action for at least one year
and possibly four.

Chi Phi's national organization has indefinitely suspended its ECU chapter
over an Aug. 20 party where authorities cited 77 minors for drinking. The
suspension capped a three-week investigation and forestalled disciplinary action
by the university. It could be lifted next summer or could continue until
2011.

The ECU chapter cannot recruit new members, hold meetings or parties, raise
money for affiliated charities or take part in intramural sports. In a Sept. 14
letter to chapter members and ECU officials, Chi Phi national Executive Director
Michael Azarian discouraged ECU's 33 members from using the fraternity's letters
and symbols.

Failure to follow the national chapter's orders could result in the
fraternity's permanent dissolution, wrote Azarian, who was unavailable for
comment Thursday.
