Adviser: USA punishes fraternity members for hazing
The Associated Press
The University of South Alabama has disciplined some members of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity because of their roles in physically abusing prospective members, fraternity adviser Lamar Odom said.
Odom said some of the members are appealing their punishments.
Fraternity and sorority adviser Emily Ulmer said a prospective member reported hazing in early December. Disciplinary proceedings are still unknown, partly because federal law bars the release of a student's educational records without their consent.
Dean of Students Tim Beard would not say how many people had been disciplined or what sentences had been issued because their cases are still pending.
When asked if the students were expelled, Odom replied, "Not expelled. Suspended is the word I heard."
Beard said he expected a decision on the chapter, which was indefinitely suspended on Dec. 9, within two weeks.
A Dec. 7 letter sent by regional Kappa Alpha Psi leader Ronald Range said the reported violations included paddling.
