Podcast Episode
Kyle Geissler talks with Janesville Gazette reporter Kayla Bunge about sanctions against a UW-Whitewater fraternity.
MADISON — From the Associated Press:
A University of Wisconsin-Whitewater official says a fraternity was suspended for three years to try to stop a troubling culture of underage drinking and hazing.
Assistant Dean of Students Mary Beth Mackin says alcohol and underage drinking were the central focus of many Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity events.
She says pledges also were forced to eat and drink strange things, were yelled at by senior members and made to do chores and other acts of servitude.
Mackin says the university started investigating the fraternity after receiving numerous complaints about a party where heavy drinking took place. The investigation uncovered widespread problems related to alcohol and hazing.
Mackin says some of the 25 fraternity members will face disciplinary action.
