U. Nebraska frat suspended after suspected hazing

(U-WIRE) LINCOLN, Neb. -- The Delta Upsilon fraternity undergraduate chapter at University of Nebraska-Lincoln was suspended temporarily Saturday by its international fraternity after a photograph illustrating possible hazing activities surfaced last week.

Linda Schwartzkopf, director of Greek Affairs, said control of the chapter now is in the hands of its local alumni advisory board.

Schwartzkopf said she received word of the suspension Saturday through a letter from Abraham Cross, executive director of Delta Upsilon International Fraternity.

UNL's Delta Upsilon President Andrew Carr deferred comment on the suspension to Cross.

According to the letter, Cross said the suspension would be in place until an investigation is completed.

"In order to establish a full assessment and accounting of the situation, the international fraternity has acted to suspend operations of the Nebraska chapter of Delta Upsilon," Cross said.

Schwartzkopf said the letter made it clear the UNL Delta Upsilon chapter still remains. She said the suspension was not related to the university's own investigation.

"The two processes are working independently of each other," she said.

Eventually the international fraternity and the local alumni advisory board will need to partner with the university, Schwartzkopf said.

"It will be in everyone's best interest to work together to develop a plan of action and move (Delta Upsilon fraternity) forward," she said.
