Her Olympic medal haul included three silver and a bronze. She also won 18 world championship medals. Groves is among the Canadian athletes who have left their sports in the wake of the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver and Whistler.

The University of Alberta Delta Kappa Epsilon (DKE) fraternity is under investigation after allegedly trying to recruit members on campus while suspended. Campus security and the dean of students office announced in January the group’s status would be revoked for five years due to a video showing alleged hazing, including students being confined in a plywood box and being forced to eat vomit. “Yes, we are looking at that particular fraternity once again,” said Bill Mowbray, director of protective services at the university. Mowbray wouldn’t elaborate,
only confirming “such an investigation is underway.” The U of A campus newspaper reported that students brought video evidence of DKE members recruiting during orientation to the dean of students office.

During the suspension, the fraternity is prohibited from using the university’s name, logo, grants or campus resources and spaces. The DKE U of A’s chapter was established in 1932.
