A University of Alberta fraternity at the centre of a hazing controversy has been slapped with a "provisional suspension" by its international governing body.
During the three-year suspension, the local Delta Kappa Epsilon chapter will be under the microscope of a newly appointed alumni council, the fraternity's international board of directors said in a statement Friday.
"That alumni council will monitor all aspects of the chapter's operations, and provide direction, advice and guidance," says the statement. . . .
As part of the provisional suspension, one member of the alumni council will attend a chapter meeting at least once a month.
Alumni members will also be involved in the planning of major social events to make sure behaviour guidelines are being followed, says the fraternity.
As well, "a revised pledge program and initiation ceremony that fully and veritably complies with written (fraternity) standards will be prescribed and then monitored," says the release. . . .
