Hazing Investigation Finds Other Evidence

Fraternity: Evidence Of Underage Drinking Found


LAWRENCE, Kan. -- An investigation into alleged hazing at a University of Kansas fraternity uncovered evidence of underage drinking, KMBC's Marcus Moore reported.


The national chapter of Kappa Sigma notified the university Monday that it is investigating the hazing allegations. It said the investigation has uncovered some evidence of hazing at the Lawrence chapter, as well as evidence of underage drinking and other inappropriate behavior.


Some KU students said they weren't surprised by the report.


"This is a college campus -- there's always going to be underage drinking," one student told KMBC.


"That kind of stuff happens all over the place," another student said.


"I think the university can take care of it in a simple manner ... and make sure it doesn't happen in the future," a student said.


University officials have not said how they plan to handle the situation, however, they said they have a zero tolerance policy toward hazing and will take swift action if necessary. Officials said they're waiting for a complete review and a hearing in January.


Lawrence fraternity members declined to comment to KMBC about the investigation.
