East Carolina University's chapter of Chi Phi fraternity was suspended after at least 60 students were given alcohol citations last week at a party.

"East Carolina takes seriously underage drinking, whether or not the students are involved with Greek life," Corey King, an ECU administrator told a local TV station.. "Our students must understand that underage drinking has consequences."

The fraternity won't be allowed to take part in rush until after a investigation by the university concludes. Chi Phi was also suspended at the campus last February after its national organization questioned its practices with new members.

The chapter has about 33 members, a report said.
