TCU fraternity pledges were burned, hazed before group was suspended, police report says
Pledges to a Texas Christian University fraternity were forced to hold a lighted match while reciting the Greek alphabet and were blindfolded and put in a closet, according to hazing allegations reported by KXAS-TV (NBC5).
Claims of hazing by members of the Epsilon Beta chapter of Delta Tau Delta were detailed in police documents obtained by the station. The reports emerged last month, and the fraternity was suspended by its national organization.
A criminal investigation was opened after a student told a campus administrator about the allegations Nov. 1 and campus police were notified, according to the documents.
The complaint states that new members were forced to do a number of things including holding a match while reciting the Greek alphabet. They could not blow out the match until they had finished, and some were burned, according to NBC5.
