Oklahoma State's Alpha Phi Alpha Suspended

OSU, National Office Suspends Frat

Alpha Phi Alpha's Oklahoma State University chapter has been suspended for a minimum of 5 years by its national organization and 15 years by the university, following the alleged beating of pledges with paddles.

Six brothers of the fraternity were charged with hazing Monday, and the suspension of the frat comes as a result of the state's zero tolerance hazing policy. One pledge was beaten so severely, he will require plastic surgery repairs to his butt to replace missing skin. The district attorney said a group of five pledges came forward to alert authorities of the hazing incident.
