Thetas reportedly broke into Barnes and Noble while waiting for their party buses.

An investigation regarding events surrounding the last Kappa Alpha Theta (Theta) formal is ongoing, according to several administrators at Hopkins.

"I am not free to discuss this matter as it is being investigated by the Office of the Dean of Student Life and Kappa Alpha Theta Headquarters," Director of Greek Life Rob Turning wrote in an e-mail.

Although many of the members of Theta declined to comment because of the investigation, an anonymous pledge at the sorority confirmed that Theta is on probation.

"We're on probation and I think it is until next December that it is being reviewed, although I'm not sure when," the pledge said.

The anonymous source confirmed that one factor contributing to the sorority's probation was somebody breaking into Barnes and Noble while people were waiting for the bus.

"I was already at the formal when everything happened because we took the first bus and the others were waiting for the second one," she said.

Theta's probation was announced at the end of the weekly Alpha Phi meeting, according to a member of Alpha Phi.

"Theta is on social probation because of some behavior at their date party. Now they can't have date parties or formals for awhile," the anonymous member of Alpha Phi said.
