Miami University fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon suspended amid hazing allegations

The Nu Omega Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta at the University of Oklahoma has resumed operations following a suspension due to hazing allegations involving dangerous drinking games and the consumption of contaminated food. Meanwhile, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at Miami University has been suspended amid serious hazing accusations, including forcing pledges to ingest chewing tobacco and perform humiliating physical tasks, which some describe as 'inhumane.' Reports indicate that new members were coerced into accepting bids and were subjected to severe psychological pressure, including being isolated from friends and family. University officials are taking these allegations seriously, with Miami University emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy towards hazing. Legal analysts highlight a growing legislative focus on criminalizing hazing activities on college campuses, reflecting broader societal concerns about student safety. Both universities are investigating the incidents as part of their commitment to promoting safe environments for students.
