Delt under investigation for hazing

Public Safety is currently investigating the fraternity Delta Tau Delta for injuries sustained by two pledging students, according to Capt. Drew Buske of Public Safety.

Two weeks ago, one student suffered a swollen and bruised kidney that appears to be the result of physical contact, Buske said. The other student suffered a minor injury to the face caused by a fall that was most likely related to his level of intoxication.

Public Safety is currently interviewing students pledging the fraternity, as well as brothers, to determine if the injuries are hazing related, Buske said.

Roy Baker, director of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs in the Office of Student Life, is aware of the situation and has taken administrative action against Delt, Buske said.

These types of investigations occur once or twice each school year, Buske said. Some come from allegations made by anonymous students.



Michael Schottenstein, president of the Interfraternity Council – of which Delt is a member – said he could not comment on the matter because Public Safety is currently investigating the situation.
