Pi Alpha Phi fraternity closed, dissolution for a minimum of 10 years

The Pi Alpha Phi National Council announced that the Michigan state chapter of the fraternity has been closed and has completed its investigation.

This fraternity closure, before a temporary suspension, followed the death of MSU student Phat Nguyen on the 400 block of Stoddard Ave. Three other people were also found unconscious at the scene.

“As a result, the Fellowship has concluded that – consistent with our commitment to the core missions of Pi Alpha Phi as well as Michigan State University – closing the Pi Alpha Phi Chapter was the appropriate course of action.” The Pi Alpha Phi National Council wrote.

While the MSU chapter is currently closed, the fraternity can be reinstated after a minimum of 10 years, according to the email.

Each fraternity brother is now under suspension status, however, students will be entitled to all of their rights and privileges as Pi Alpha Phi alumni upon graduation.

For any student who may need support services, contact MSU’s Psychiatry and Counseling Services which are available to students 24/7/365.
