TKE National Official Says No Hazing Took Place at South Alabama

Official of TKE Doubts Hazing

A representative from Tau Kappa Epsilon's national office is sticking up for his boys at the University of South Alabama, saying that he doesn't believe any form of hazing took place during an incident where a pledge suffered a ruptured spleen.

The representative said brothers did blindfold the pledges and did other things which are prohibited, but the act of hazing never took place.

University officials disagree, sticking to their original stance on the incident. Four other fraternities at the college had face hazing violations in recent years.

No brothers have been charged in the incident as of yet.
