Sanctions are being brought against the Omega chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity after potential violations of UK’s Student Code of Conduct were reported.

The fraternity plans to appeal the sanctions, said Jared Wheatley, a Pi Kappa Alpha.

The Office of Student Conduct found the fraternity responsible for the violations, according to a statement from Dean of Students Victor Hazard.

The fraternity has declined to comment on the allegations at present.

Sanctions have been assigned based on the gravity of the incidents and prior case history, according to the statement.

The university has declined to provide more details on the violations and the sanctions.

UK’s Pi Kappa Alpha chapter has seven business days to appeal the sanctions to the university appeals board.

The Kentucky Kernel will file an open records request to obtain more information on the incidents and the sanctions being brought against the fraternity.
