BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana University says it has suspended the local chapter of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity while it investigates a sexually explicit video purportedly showing the hazing of a pledge.
School spokesman Mark Land said the school immediately suspended the fraternity’s local chapter “given the seriousness of the allegations and the purported content of the video.”
Alpha Tau Omega’s national CEO Wynn Smiley said in a statement the video “is highly offensive” and “vulgar” and that if confirmed “swift disciplinary action will be taken” against those involved.
In June, the Indiana State University in Terre Haute suspended the fraternity for violations including hosting unauthorized events and providing alcohol to minors.
