So, the previous closing may or may not have been justified. This one would appear to be -- "pending the outcome of an investigation." And this one really hurts since it is a big Delt chapter involved.

I'm going to be in Norman this weekend on a college hunting trip with my son. I was going to stop by the house. Now, I probably won't since they probably wouldn't be interested in chatting with a division officer.

Crap!

Officer injured, fraternity suspended after brawl at OU

NORMAN, Okla. -- A University of Oklahoma fraternity has been
suspended after a brawl that resulted in more than two dozen arrests,
police said.

"The Delta Tau Delta fraternity has been suspended pending the
outcome of an investigation," OU spokesman Jeff Hickman said Friday.
"Basically, they can live in the house, but that's it."

Hickman said no students have been suspended. The university will
investigate the incident, he said.

Police responded to a fight in the parking lot of the Sigma Phi
Epsilon fraternity house about 3:30 a.m. Friday morning.

According to police, several members of Delta Tau Delta fraternity
went to the Sigma Phi Epsilon house and a large fright broke out.
About 100 people were involved in the fight and several people were
injured, police said.

Joshua Patrick Miller, 20, was beaten several times with a club or a
bat, police said. Miller was transported to a Norman hospital, where
he was treated for a head injury and released, hospital officials
said.

Police said 25 people were cited or arrested for several offenses,
including public intoxication, disturbing the peace and destruction
of private property.

Eight police officers responded to the fight, said Norman police Lt.
Glenn Dobry.

"There were some problems with beer bottles being thrown at officers,
and some of them were spit on," Dobry said.

One police officer suffered minor injuries to his hands and arms
after being pushed down, he said.
