SMU's Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity suspended after hazing investigation
A Southern Methodist University fraternity was suspended Monday after a hazing investigation looked into how new members were treated.
The suspension of the Beta Zeta chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity will last four and a half years and was made in agreement with the national organization, university spokesman Kent Best said in a written statement.
"The suspension comes in response to operational and new member incidents that violated the SMU Student Code of Conduct and the fraternity's oaths and rules," Best said.
According to an email obtained by SMU's Daily Campus, new members were forced to consume onions, hot sauce, eggs and milk and were required or encouraged to drink alcohol.
