UCF fraternities suspended after reports of ‘dangerous' and ‘degrading' hazing
Leaders with the University of Central Florida are investigating reports of hazing at some of the fraternities on campus.
UCF said it has received multiple reports of alleged hazing incidents involving Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon fraternities.
Officials said the reported hazing was 'dangerous and degrading' to those involved.
'UCF unequivocally condemns hazing in all forms, and we are committed to holding individuals and organizations accountable for actions that threaten the safety and well-being of our students and others,' a UCF spokesperson said.
Officials said the UCF Police Department is investigating the incidents as 'felony hazing.'
UCF said Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon have been temporarily suspended by their national chapters.
'Based on facts gathered by police as part of their investigations, the university will follow processes for individual and organizational conduct violations as outlined in the Golden Rule Student Handbook,' officials said.

Help or harm: Local police chief shares his own experience with mental health struggles
UCF Police Chief Carl Metzger walks through the halls and streets of the University of Central Florida campus proudly carrying a 'Crisis Intervention Training' certification pin. He says the training has made a tremendous impact across his agency. 'I'm proudest of the way we at the UCF Police Department handle these types of calls,' the Chief said. The journey hasn't been easy, however, and Chief Metzger has a unique perspective about mental health concerns. He lost his son, Daniel, in 2023 due to a mental illness. Even before that, though, the 28-year-old had many runs with law enforcement. 'We felt like we had gotten him into a good place, and unfortunately, things did not work out, and it's been a rough road for mom and dad,' Chief Metzger said. 'Daniel ultimately was Baker-acted eight times. And I saw those law enforcement officers who were CIT, Crisis Intervention Team, trained and those who weren't. And the difference between the response was stark.' There's a high volume of mental health crisis-related calls across our counties. In Sumter County, for example, the sheriff's office tracked 1,054 calls between 2023 and 2024. In Seminole County, the sheriff's office responded 3,351 just last year. In Orange County, that number jumped to 5,309 calls in the same time period. So far this year, Orange County has already responded to nearly 1,700 mental health-related calls - two of those calls ended with a person killed; one of them was Antonio Scippio, who called 911 himself. 'I am about to kill myself,' the 911 recording stated. Scippio's mother, Gail Reed, said the 33-year-old had mental illnesses for years. 'Schizophrenia, bipolar, paranoia. You name it,' she said. 'It's still very hard for me to step back into this house and every time I step I see him lying there in a pile of blood that was uncalled for.' The Sheriff told us, right after the shooting, that this outcome was unusual. 'He continues to walk toward the deputies with the knife, including refusing several commands,' Sheriff John Mina said on the evening of February 21st, 2024, when the shooting happened. The Orange County sheriff's office says their Behavioral Response Units – which includes a clinician and a deputy – do not directly respond to calls when the person is armed, which is why only deputies showed up at Antonio Scippio's home. Chief Metzger says law enforcement officers walk a thin line between protecting the person who's having a mental crisis and protecting themselves… and that's why Crisis Intervention Training is so important. 'We need to keep our officers sharp and their skills sharp and ready to go out there and save lives,' the Chief said. That's why mental health advocates with the National Alliance on Mental Illness say the state of Florida should require training for all law enforcement officers. 'I think all departments across the country are struggling to put officers on the street, and I think that it's a it's, you know, adding 40 hours of Academy time. You know, is taken away from officers being on the streets,' said Freddie Morello, executive director of NAMI. 'There are funding concerns. There are some departments that don't believe in the crisis intervention training.' NAMI partners with law enforcement agencies to help train its officers on how to best respond to calls involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis. Chief Metzger - who is now a board member at the organization - uses his own story to help others. 'Do you think the work you do right now is the legacy of your son?,' Channel 9's Geovany Dias asked. 'I do. We miss him, we love him, but we're going to continue to help others, and that helps u,' the chief said. NAMI said she trained more than 1,500 law enforcement officers just in the past two years across Orange, Osceola, Brevard, and Seminole counties. They are now pushing and hoping their training will become a requirement for all law enforcement agencies across the state. Click here to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.

Fraternities close their doors at UCF after hazing investigation
Two fraternities at the University of Central Florida have closed their doors following a hazing investigation. The university confirmed with Channel 9 that Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon closed their UCF chapters. This is after UCF police investigated allegations of hazing from both chapters. In a statement—a university representative said in part 'hazing has no place at UCF and in Greek life. The national chapters' efforts to do the right thing shows a level of integrity that we hope will serve as an example to others.' The two fraternities were previously suspended by their national chapters earlier this spring after the allegations came out. Click here to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.

Two UCF fraternities close amid probe into 'dangerous and degrading' hazing
Two fraternities at the University of Central Florida shut their doors following investigations into 'dangerous and degrading' hazing allegations, the university announced this week. UCF's investigations of Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon confirmed hazing took place but did not lead to criminal charges because of a lack of cooperating witnesses, the university said in a press release. The two fraternities' national organizations decided to shutter their UCF chapters after the March investigations by the UCF police department and administrators. The hazing allegations against Sigma Chi included witness claims that fraternity brothers ran into pledges with their cars. The chapter's closures are indefinite, university spokesperson Courtney Gilmartin said Thursday. Sigma Chi had about 80 members and Delta Upsilon had about 60 last year, according to a UCF report. It's unclear what will happen with the chapters' on-campus houses and the students who live in them. Despite UCF police filing no criminal charges, the students involved in the hazing incidents are still subject to the student conduct process, Adrienne Frame, UCF's vice president for student success and well-being, said in a statement. 'UCF remains committed to fostering a culture of safety, integrity, and respect for all our students, including those in Greek life,' Frame said. The university, however, did not provide any details on what punishment any of the fraternity members might face. Sigma Chi has been a repeat offender at UCF, having been suspended eight times between 2015 and 2020, including four suspensions in 2019 alone. One of those 2019 incidents involved allegations the fraternity had blindfolded a pledge and forced him to use cocaine. In March, the university announced the investigations into both fraternities and then released documents that detailed accusations that Sigma Chi brothers hit new members with a car. Additional documents about the Delta Upsilon investigation were not available as of Thursday. In February, a sorority member whose house sits next door to Sigma Chi's told police that she heard yelling, saw a car strike a young man and then heard someone shout 'help!' and 'my bones, my bones, they're broken,' the report said. She reported seeing several men all wearing white shirts or polos with khaki pants, which she told police was common fraternity pledge attire. Other residents of the sorority later told police 'one of the boys got hit by a car.' A detective assigned to the case wrote in the report, 'Sigma Chi brothers had allegedly forced new members to stand in front of cars while members of the organization hit them with cars.' Police interviewed three Sigma Chi brothers that evening who said they had no knowledge of anyone being hit by a car or getting hurt and that they were playing basketball just before police had arrived. One officer described a fraternity brother as being 'evasive' when questioned. A Kia matching the eyewitness description tried to leave the area driving with its headlights off, but police stopped the car. It's unclear what police found when they stopped the vehicle. Police officers also checked inside the fraternity house and with local hospitals, but they did not find a victim they thought was related to the incident at Sigma Chi, the report said. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
