Several violations have been reported, and as a result, the chapter was placed on disciplinary probation, its social events were limited, and members were required to go through several educational sessions.

In 2018 and 2019, the chapter had several codes of conduct violations surrounding alcohol. An investigation was launched in 2018 after a hazing incident, in which a member encouraged new fraternity members to participate in a scavenger hunt that targeted Asian students and asked them for photographs.
