Washington State fraternity ills

November 8, 2007 By Hank Nuwer 1 Comment

Washington State University is removing 32 freshmen from two fraternities for their own safety after allegations of hazing, including an alleged incident that resulted in a broken jaw.
The Theta Chi and Delta Chi residents will be temporarily relocated to campus residence halls, according to a statement released late Wednesday afternoon by WSU.
The Student Conduct Board is investigating those involved in the alleged assaults, according to WSU, and disciplinary action is possible.
“We understand that asking students to pack up and move to a different residence on such short notice is not ideal for all involved. But our goal is to help provide these students with a living environment that supports rather than detracts from their educational experience,” vice president for WSU’s Division of Student Affairs, Equity and Diversity Michael Tate said in the statement.

    I’m not seeing any coverage of this incident in the Washington newspapers or television news channels. Is it too soon, or something else? There was an article in the Lewiston, Idaho newspaper. Kudos to the administration for acting so quickly, and no, they are not overreacting. There were 36 students brought to the hospital with alcohol poisoning by January of last year.
    This is the only place I could find information on the incident. Weird.
