The Indiana Lambda chapter of Phi Delta Theta filed the appeal Thursday.
Following an interim suspension and investigation, officials at the Evansville school announced this week that they would withdraw recognition of the chapter. The school says that the fraternity’s appeal will be heard through a university administrative process.
University of Southern Indiana school didn’t detail the allegations, but said most occurred off-campus and involved underage drinking.
