Wayne State Suspends Frat, Citing Illegal Activity

wayne-state-collegeWAYNE, Neb. (AP) — Wayne State College has indefinitely suspended a fraternity after two people suffered alcohol poisoning and police began investigating whether drinks at house parties were spiked with drugs.

Wayne State officials said in a press release that Tau Kappa Epsilon can no longer recruit or use college facilities or resources. Officials cited ‘illegal and dangerous activities related to the use of alcohol’ at the fraternity.

Jeff Carstens, dean of students at Wayne State, says administrators received numerous reports of underage drinking at the off-campus house.

Wayne State President Curt Frye says administrators didn’t arrive at the decision lightly.

School officials say they’re open to reinstating the fraternity if its members develop a plan to address the drinking culture and problems at the house.
