CRETE, Neb. (AP) — Doane College officials have reinstated a fraternity that was suspended in April 2010 because of hazing allegations.

Alpha Omega was originally suspended for four years because a student was hit with a paddle during an initiation ceremony.

Doane President Jacque Carter told the local media  the fraternity successfully met requirements the university imposed for early reinstatement.

The fraternity had to submit a detailed plan for restoration and create new bylaws. Also, its alumni board promised to oversee the fraternity and provide regular reporting.

Alpha Omega will now be allowed to recruit new members in the fall.

Doane’s Alpha Omega chapter was founded in 1897 and had about 17 active members when it was suspended.
