The University of Wisconsin-Madison has terminated its Kappa Sigma fraternity chapter after people pushed a television off the chapter’s balcony and nearly hit a woman this summer.

The university said Friday the chapter was terminated as a student organization for violating the Student Organization Code of Conduct.

UW-Madison previously had suspended the chapter, pending an investigation, shortly after the June 30 incident. The national Kappa Sigma fraternity earlier withdrew the chapter’s charter.

The chapter may not attempt to re-register as a student organization for five years, through Jan. 1, 2024.

The chapter can appeal the decision.
