Miami University, the public university in Ohio, has suspended for 15 years a fraternity that violently hazed its members.
Members of Miami’s chapter of Delta Tau Delta allegedly hit students with spiked paddles, kicked and spit on them, and forced them to smoke marijuana and drink a significant amount of alcohol, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
The fraternity had already been suspended twice since 2000, the newspaper reported.
It will be suspended until March 2034, though Delta Tau Delta can appeal to return to campus as early as 2029. One victim of hazing, according to the Enquirer, “felt like he was going to die.” He was carried out on a stretcher and hospitalized for cuts and bruises as well as a blood-alcohol level of .231.
