FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11/21/03
GREENSBURG, PA - In October of 2003, the Delta Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho at Colgate University admitted to hazing some of its new members. After an investigation, both the National Fraternity of Kappa Delta Rho and Colgate University placed the chapter on probation. Despite both our and the University's punitive actions, we learned that the chapter continued to haze its new members. The National Fraternity of Kappa Delta Rho learned on November 20, 2003 that Colgate University, after conducting internal judicial hearings, closed the Delta Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho.
The National Fraternity of Kappa Delta Rho does not condone or tolerate hazing by any of its brothers. The National Fraternity of Kappa Delta Rho recognizes the harm hazing causes to individuals, the university community and the entire Greek system. Our policies explicitly prohibit hazing, and we provide educational training to teach our undergraduate brothers about the harm hazing causes. Hazing by any brother of Kappa Delta Rho is unacceptable and completely contrary to our motto: Honor Before All Things.
