Phi Tau Chapter Suspended for Fire

Fraternity Suspends Nebraska Chapter After Fatal Fire

Nebraska Wesleyan's chapter of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity was suspended for four year's by its national organization following an investigation into a fatal fire where hazing was said to be involved.

The frat's national president said there wasn't any connection found between possible violations of its risk management policy and the fire, but its actions were significant enough to cause the brothers to have their chapter suspended.

The suspension comes about a week after brothers were indicted on arson and hazing charges. They were said to have been in possession of illegal fireworks at the time of the November fire and were said to have thrown them unlawfully.

The brothers were informed at what was said to be a very emotional meeting Tuesday night.
