STATEMENT FROM BAYLOR UNIVERSITY

Nov. 5, 2026

Over last weekend, the University received credible, confidential information that alleged hazing occurred within the membership of Phi Kappa Chi, a fraternity within the Fraternity and Sorority Life community of Baylor University. Given the serious nature of the allegations, the potential violations of state and federal anti-hazing laws, and the risk for student health and safety, the University made the very difficult decision to notify the Phi Kappa Chi leadership of an immediate cease and desist of all chapter operations. Since that time, the Chapter has admitted to behaviors that violate University policies, including the anti-hazing policy, and we will be moving to sanctions of the organization early next week. Given Phi Kappa Chi's admission of responsibility, demonstrated contrition, and willingness to accept consequences that will be determined in the future, we will be permitting the organization to participate in the Homecoming activities of Pigskin Revue and the Homecoming Parade. Baylor University has a zero-tolerance policy toward hazing in any form.
