Tony Crumpton by Assoc. Editor -

The Clemson University hearing board has suspended Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity for five years for alleged violations of the student organization conduct code, the school announced on Wednesday. The decision is not final and is subject to appeal. No appeal has been made at this time.

The fraternity was the organization that Tucker Hipps pledged while at Clemson. The 19-year-old fell from a bridge and died during a run with his fraternity brothers in September 2014.

The University said that the investigation is not criminal.
