Becca Millfeld, DSJ Staff Reporter
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity is under investigation after a student sustained cuts, abrasions and bruises at the SAE house late last Thursday/early Friday morning.
According to Vice President of Student Affairs Sam Sadler, the student suffered head injuries and received medical treatment at Williamsburg Community Hospital. There is a strong possibility that the event was alcohol-related, and an investigation into whether hazing was involved is underway.
The Commonwealth Attorney’s office has been notified of the incident, and the College and the national fraternity are currently investigating the matter. Chapter activity has been suspended by the national fraternity pending the investigation, though SAE has not been kicked off campus according to Sadler.
“William and Mary has a very strong view on hazing. We are pursuing this matter with the degree of concern it deserves,” said Sadler.
The injured student is currently back in class. The College received word of the injury late last Friday.
The president of SAE could not be reached for comment.
