EUGENE, Ore. -- Nearly 30 members of Theta Chi were forced to move out of their house over the weekend after the University of Oregon said it would no longer recognize the organization.

The Greek leadership advisor Amy Long says the university no longer recognizes the organization because they broke too many conduct rules.

She says most of the violations were because of alcohol.

"We do have standards for our organizations and we will not tolerate this sort of behavior from any organization when we see it is doing detriment and harm to members of that organization and the rest of the community," Long said. 

A UO spokeswoman says the fraternity was on an extended probation period.
    
Theta Chi has a long relationship with the university, and Long says they will try to work with alumini to have them return successfully in the future.
