Hazing Found at U. of Michigan: 3 Fraternities, One Sorority

The Detroit Free Press reports that an investigation found that four GLOs at the U. of Michigan hazed:

Delta Sigma Phi (has been closed)
Sigma Nu
Zeta Beta Tau
Alpha Epsilon Phi

For the findings and the consequences (varying levels of fines, social restrictions, "membership review" and so on) see:

http://www.freep.com/news/statewire/...6_20050219.htm

One interesting excerpt that may point again to the real need for alumni/ae and national interest in, and oversight of, chapters -- as well as, frankly, the need to be careful in membership selection:

"In an agreement reached with the school, the fraternities and sorority will retool their pledge processes, give their leadership and members more guidance, look at removing some members and strengthen ties to national organizations.The school attributed some of the hazing to poor chapter leadership and weak ties to alumni."
