Delta Tau Delta Fraternity’s national governing body has gone from indefinitely suspending the organization’s West Virginia University colony over a student’s video to now seeking to halt recognition of it altogether, but its members plan to appeal.
WVU Greek Life Director Roy Baker said the 66-member Delta Tau Delta colony — the term used for a prospective local chapter of a national fraternity that’s composed of unofficial members who are seeking an official charter — is still recognized pending the appeal’s outcome. It is has 30 days to file the appeal.
“We’re here to support this group,” Baker said. “We don’t think they’re bad students at all. They’re good guys, but they just didn’t get the level of support from a number of areas.”
He said the colony recently exceeded university requirements by bringing 96 percent of its members to sexual-assault prevention training.
