LSU DKE Chapter Cleared of Goat Charges

LSU Lifts Fraternity's Suspension

Louisiana State University's chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity is no longer suspended on the Baton Rouge campus, after having their name cleared in an incident of hazing involving a goat stemming from an initiation party last November.

“In this day and age, whether it’s right or wrong when people hear ‘fraternity goat,’ it does not sound right to people,” LSU's dean of students, K.C. White, told WBRZ News.

LSU's administration agreed to take the suspension away Tuesday when brothers said they would gladly participate in a two-year introspection of the fraternity.

The brothers told the university in a letter they would exclude all animals from every initiation process and ritual they conduct.

Police believe alcohol was involved in the incident, and the student remains in serious, but stable, condition.

New Beta and DKE Mansions Coming Soon at 'Bama

New fraternity houses' construction on schedule

Delta Kappa Epsilon and Beta Theta Pi have both seen their houses torn down only to start on the construction of new chapter homes at the University of Alabama.

"We're going to build something that lasts for years and years," said a representative from the construction administration. "It's a lot like building a custom home. It's very high maintenance," he continued.

The new houses will be adjacent to the plaze near the university's football stadium. Officials said construction costs total about $10 million.

"We had mixed emotions at first when we heard what was going to happen, but when they showed us the plans, we were very excited about what they wanted to do with the stadium and, in hindsight, we're very pleased with the way it turned out," said a DLE alumni. The new house will be large enough for 29 brothers to call it home.

"We've been having to have our parties at bars and with all of the new pledges there's been no place to party," one Beta said. "It'll be really nice having our place back so we can party. Really, that's one of the big things is having a place to hold functions and where we can all get together."

That's right Beta brother, it's all about getting together to party my friend.

Apparently You Can't Fight If You Want the Right to Party

Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity Faces Trouble for Risk Management Violation

Delta Kappa Epsilon, more commonly known as DKE, is being placed on social probation for a fight that took place last December at the University of Minnesota.

The fight occurred when 3 men attempted to come into an unregistered date party at the DKE house. The brothers were cited for failing to register the party with the school. After the men were forced to leave, about 10 brothers met them outside the house and knocked one of the men unconscious. DKE will be on social probation until Feb. 11.
