Miami suspends frat in hazing incident

Delta Tau Delta suspends its Oxford chapter after report.

Miami University suspended Delta Tau Delta fraternity after officials said they received a “serious and credible report of dangerous hazing.”

Sophomores living in the fraternity house are being moved into residence halls as the university finalizes its investigation, Miami President Gregory Crawford said in a letter to the college community, our media partner WCPO-TV reported.

“The contents of this report are brutal and deplorable, and have brought us to a tipping point on this campus,” said Crawford, who added he was “disheartened and outraged” by the behavior outlined in the complaint.

Jack Kreman, the chief executive of Delta Tau Delta, based in Fishers, Indiana, said its Oxford chapter was suspended following the report.

“Hazing has no place within Delta Tau Delta.” Kreman said in a release, WCPO reported. “The fraternity has no tolerance for such behavior and those involved will be held accountable.”

Oxford police said they also are opening an investigation after receiving a report of hazing at the Delta Tau Delta house.

Crawford asked university leaders to review the allegations in the context of the larger Greek community and to make recommendations that could be implemented across all fraternities and sororities.
