Hazing alleged at Montclair State against two TKE brothers

April 30, 2011 By Hank Nuwer Leave a Comment

A pledge who said he sustained a severely lacerated arm in a hazing incident has seen charges placed against Tau Kappa Epsilon members Joseph D. Cordasco, 20, of Belleville, NJ and Christian A. Calderon, 21, of Union City, NJ.

Excerpt from Patch.com
The defendants, who were arrested on April 27 and
April 28, respectively, were processed at police headquarters and released
pending arraignments in Superior Court in Newark.

Montclair State University released a statement saying it “strongly condemns all forms of physical and mental hazing and has a zero-tolerance policy toward any University member participating in this type of behavior.

“As soon as the University learned of this incident we took immediate disciplinary action against the fraternity allegedly involved in this incident. With criminal charges having now been filed by the authorities, the University will pursue disciplinary proceedings and will continue to support the Cedar Grove Police Department in their ongoing investigation.”

Steven Ramos, the chief executive officer of the Indianapolis, Ind.-based TKE, was not aware of the incident until asked about it by a reporter. Ramos said the national chapter…will take immediate action.
