Social functions for fraternities and sororities in the IU Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association are suspended through this weekend to limit contact in large group settings, PHA President Jessica Deady confirmed Tuesday morning to the Indiana Daily Student.
In a statement released Monday night, the organizations said rumors were circulating that two members “may or may not have contracted COVID-19 after returning from study abroad.” The organizations could not confirm or deny whether the members have coronavirus. The organizations said suspending social functions was a preventative measure.
IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said there are no suspected cases of coronavirus at IU and there is no evidence that anyone who contracted the virus has been on campus.
"If we have what we believe to be a possible case, people would hear from the university," Carney said.
IFC and PHA said they can't confirm or deny any health status for the individuals rumored to have coronavirus, according to the statement. Both the IFC and PHA will work to continue to ensure appropriate preventative measures are in place.
