Teke Suspended for 3 Years (Wisconsin - Whitewater)

[Kevin]

When TKE National suspends a chapter, whatever happened had to be serious. In my (limited) experience, they are a lot slower than most to close undergrad chapters due to risk reduction issues -- and from what I've seen, that is the sort of attitude which has helped them to have more chapters than anyone else out there.

LXA also a few years back suspended our chapter there.

They are now in line to be rechartered.

I wonder what is going on with the school itself and how they deal with GLOs.

But saying TKE must have done something overly bad, well?

I know TKE members and respect them but a generalization is?

You are right Kevin, it has to be serious!

None of us want to see anything like this.

Exceerpts from Associated Press story on a regional news outler web site:

Assistant Dean of Student Life Mary Beth Mackin said the university suspended Tau Kappa Epsilon after learning that alcohol and underage drinking were the central focus of many fraternity events. Many members routinely drank to excess, she said.

Pledges also were forced to eat and drink strange things such as raw onions and prune juice, were yelled at by senior members and made to do exercises, chores and other acts of servitude, she said.
