WVU official says recent fraternity suspensions reflect higher standards
The new director of Greek life at West Virginia University said that the recent suspension of three fraternities isn’t an indication that bad behavior has increased, but signals that the university is now holding fraternities to higher standards.
However he does say of the allegations that “some of which were serious.” A WVU student told police that she was sexually assaulted at a party at Sigma Chi last weekend.
Tuesday, WVU announced that the national headquarters of Delta Tau Delta had suspended a colony — a probationary chapter — over a video posted on YouTube of a local member auditioning for a reality television program. The member was auditioning for MTV’s “The Real World.”
WVU’s Interfraternity Council’s Executive Council said in a statement that the video, “included a tour of the Delta Tau Delta chapter house while making inappropriate comments toward women, describing social functions that violate the conduct code of the IFC, and referencing activities that violated and are contradicting to the values of the national fraternity.”
