Fraternity activities suspended at Tufts after hazing reports
Tufts University has suspended all social activity at its fraternities for the rest of the semester after receiving several allegations of hazing and sexual misconduct in recent weeks, administrators said.
The university has launched “multiple investigations of several Greek organizations” and issued cease-and-desist orders to four fraternities, administrators wrote in a campuswide e-mail sent Friday. Spring recruitment for sororities and fraternities has been voluntarily suspended.
In addition, all fraternities will be required to participate in sexual misconduct prevention training, an alcohol education session, and training with a national hazing prevention expert, administrators said.
“These preliminary steps do not preclude further appropriate action being taken by the university, but have been implemented as interim measures pending the outcome of the current investigations,” administrators wrote.
