Operations at an Ole Miss fraternity have been suspended temporarily after a video surfaced online of multiple alleged hazing incidents.
Sources in Oxford tell SuperTalk Mississippi News that the fraternity facing suspension is Phi Delta Theta. In the video, a pledge is seen lying on his back as a member of the fraternity dumps two glasses of milk in his mouth. Another portion of the video shows multiple pledges lying on their backs and making obscene gestures.
Officials at Ole Miss issued the following statement regarding the contents of the video:
“The University is aware of the videos and takes allegations of hazing seriously. The university has placed the involved fraternity on interim suspension, which includes pausing new member activities. This should not impact the activities of other organizations on campus.”
Ole Miss did not give a timeline as to how long the fraternity’s suspension will last.
