The University of Arizona has suspended all fraternity activities following multiple reports of misconduct involving nearly half of the 21 fraternity chapters on campus.

Dean of Students Chrissy Lieberman announced the interim suspension Tuesday, citing investigations into allegations including physical assault, hazing and illegal drug use since the fall semester began. Several chapters had also faced disciplinary action earlier this year over hazing violations.
