University of Miami Suspends Fraternity Over Conduct Violations
The suspension follows a viral video of members engaging in milk-chugging, but the university found no breach of hazing rules.
- The University of Miami suspended Sigma Alpha Epsilon for the remainder of the Spring semester after a video showing members chugging milk and spitting it on a student went viral.
- Despite the disturbing nature of the video, the university's investigation concluded that the actions did not violate its hazing policies, but did find violations of conduct and alcohol rules.
- Fraternity members are allowed to continue living in their house and may resume hosting and attending events in the fall under probation.
- Legal experts and the public have raised concerns, suggesting the incident should be considered hazing.
- The suspension comes amid a broader context of scrutiny over fraternity conduct, including previous incidents of hazing and misconduct at the University of Miami.
