The judicial board of the Interfraternity Council has until this Friday to decide the punishment for Phi Kappa Theta fraternity, 1111 W. 11th St.

The IFC has a rule allowing for up to five school days after the hearing to determine the local punishment.

Members of the judicial board read the chapter its formal charges last Friday.

Recruitment and joint-alcohol policy violations were included in charges filed against the fraternity.

John Byerley, vice president of public relations for the IFC, could not give specific details on charges until later this week.

He confirmed that the fraternity could face about 20 charges.

The fraternity had an unregistered party at its house on the weekend of Feb. 19. The chapter neglected to submit a Party Notification Form, so the event was classified as an unsanctioned recruitment event by the IFC. The fraternity was operating an “open saloon,” selling alcohol to minors.

Lawrence police officers confiscated 16 kegs of beer, $517 in cash and signs that advertised the party.

The chapter’s national headquarters in Carmel, Ind., indefinitely suspended the chapter on Feb. 25.

In an interview last week, Kevin Lampe, national secretary of Phi Kappa Theta, said the fraternity could not participate in social functions, perform rituals or recruit new members.

The board of trustees will have a hearing later in the spring to determine the next course of action.
