DELTA KAPPA EPSILON SUSPENDED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA FOR HAZING | Dallas, Texas Personal Injury Attorney Blog
The University of Alberta has suspended Delta Kappa Epsilon and has revoked its right to book events, to use school equipment or to use the university logo until ‘further notice’. As the Montes Herald Law Group Blog discussed earlier this week, the University of Alberta was investigating the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity for hazing. The fraternity’s initiation rituals were partially captured on video and released to the press showing the group was engaged in hazing type behaviors over a 4 day period of time. In this instance, the video shows that sleep deprived pledges were forced eat their own vomit, raw onions, and were yelled at and berated and were threatened with violence.
If you or a loved one is seriously injured or killed as a result of a hazing incident, it is important that you take action quickly to protect your rights. Communicating in writing with the appropriate organizational, educational and police authorities to properly and timely document your complaints is extremely important. Some schools and universities have extremely short deadlines (sometimes as short as 48 hours from the time of the incident) in their Codes of Conduct to report such conduct if you desire for the institution to take any action. If you find yourself in this situation, you need to know your rights and take action quickly to protect those rights.
