Dear ZBT family,

This afternoon, ZBT and the University of Florida announced our joint decision to remove recognition from our Alpha Zeta Chapter. This decision comes after a series of allegations made against the chapter following a weekend social event in Panama City Beach, FL.

In the course of dual investigations, ZBT and the University of Florida have found additional evidence of behavior from some members that falls well below the standards of both organizations. While investigators have not yet found conclusive evidence regarding some of the more egregious allegations, it is clear that students made irresponsible decisions and behaved in ways that are unacceptable and disrespectful.

We are absolutely disgusted by the accusations that have been made regarding the behavior of certain members of this chapter. ZBT has a long history of serving our country with brothers currently serving in all ranks of the military. ZBT will work diligently to demonstrate that the alleged behavior of a few does not represent the values of the many.

Despite the closing of the chapter, we will continue our investigation into the matter. We are committed to holding fully responsible those who engaged in any alleged wrongdoing.
