Tau Kappa Epsilon officially unrecognized

. . . Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity plans to appeal their loss of recognition from the university following an investigation of several alleged violations of the Code of Conduct, . . .

On Tuesday, the Dean of Students Office ceased recognition of the chapter, following investigations centered on the fraternity’s new member education process, according to Keith Humphrey, dean of students . . .

The fraternity had been under investigation since the start of the fall semester after complaints were filed . . . The chapter was forced to limit all activities, which prevented them from participating in recruitment, according to a UA statement . . .

. . .Investigations involved actions related to forced consumption of alcohol, forced physical activity, physical exertion, sleep deprivation and other conduct that does not promote a safe environment . . .

There was a particularly funny comment:

This is just further proof that Obama has gone back on his promises to save Greek Life across schools nationwide.

Really though, the fact that the Dean of whatever suspended the chapter from Rush without so much as allowing them to respond to the charges is ridiculous.
