Greek Life is investigating Tau Kappa Epsilon for allegedly hazing members of its fraternity early Sunday morning, according to University officials.
Although Tim Luckadoo, associate vice chancellor of student affairs, said he could not divulge the details he received about the incident, he stated "it's a story thats very different than anything we've ever heard."
According to Luckadoo, Director of Greek Life John Mountz was on campus early Sunday morning investigating the incident and notified him.
Jason Rebucci, president of TKE, said there was originally a branch of the police involved in the off-campus incident before Campus Police were notified.
"It's being classified as hazing but there's nothing that says that this is hazing," Rebucci said. "It wasn't a planned fraternity event, and it wasn't related to the fraternity."
Jeff Skalka, president of the Inter Fraternity Council and a member of TKE, confirmed that Greek Life is indeed investigating the reports, though he declined further comment.
"I'm taking more of the brother position than the IFC president position," Skalka said.
Luckadoo added that hazing can include anything from "forcing someone to wear a specific hat to forcing someone to jump in Lake Wheeler blindfolded."
"[This situation] is very bad," Luckadoo said. "Not bad in the way that anyone was physically harmed, but it was something very risky that could have had something bad happen. There's a kind of twist on this one."
