OXFORD, Ohio – Miami University in Ohio has suspended two fraternities and placed another on probation for hazing rituals and conduct violations.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports (http://cin.ci/1KH6Y7i ) Sigma Nu fraternity members forced pledges to tally how many beers they drank on their chests, encouraging them to attempt 100.
Sigma Nu is also accused of prohibiting pledges from shaving or showering, sharing their unkempt images through Snapchat and text messages. They are suspended through 2018.
Phi Kappa Psi was suspended until 2019 after officials found "inappropriate" pictures taken of an individual without consent.
Kappa Sigma was placed on probation.
Jayne Brownell, vice president for student affairs, called the suspensions unfortunate but said hazing would never be tolerated at the Oxford school.
Sigma Nu and Phi Kappa Psi's appeals were overturned in June and July.
