Industry Update Provided by NPC
The Xi-Lambda chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity at the University of Georgia (UGA) has been temporarily suspended after a video circulating on social media showed several people mocking slavery and one person using the n-word. There is an investigation underway regarding the students involved in the video. "Tau Kappa Epsilon is disgusted, appalled and angered by the remarks shown in a video of four expelled members,” the fraternity said. “TKE will not tolerate any actions such as these that would be defined as racist, discriminatory and/or offensive.” The New York Times, CNN, TIME and Newsweek covered this story along with smaller, local publications.
After a five-hour ordeal during which he was reportedly forced to drink large amounts of alcohol and was beaten with a paddle that had "spikes and grooves," a student pledging a fraternity at Miami University in Ohio says he pleaded with a member: “Call 911, I feel like I’m going to die.” Details of the alleged hazing incident at the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity facility emerged this week as the school ordered the fraternity members to move out of the building where the alleged hazing ritual was held by Monday. FOX News covered this story along with local publications.
