Fraternities and sororities at the University of Colorado here were ordered today to abolish discriminatory membership restrictions based on race, color or religion by Sept. 1, 1962 or face probation and loss of campus privileges.
The decision to ban discrimination was adopted by the Board of Regents after a day-long meeting. Spokesmen for the Greek letter groups said that elimination of discriminatory restrictions would mean that national fraternities would be forced to quit the campus.
