Delta Upsilon Frat Hit with Probation for Hazing

0:00It's April 23rd. I'm Cory with the story. This is Kansas News Today, driven by AI. University of Kansas just hit Delta Upsilon fraternity with probation running through May, 2028, after a six-month hazing probe wrapped. Upon April 10th, this makes it the second flat sanction in three weeks, following AlphaTao Omega losing its status until Spring, 2031, back on March 20th. Details on the Delta U case stay under wraps, with KU only listing violations like hazing and harm to people in their online database. Spokespeople point reporters there instead of spilling specifics. Delta U has a rough past at KU. Their chapter got shut down in 2018 over brutal hazing where pledges face urination, spitting, and beatings. Just for speaking up, they bounced back with new members in fall 2022 and grabbed a fresh charter by December 2023. This fits a bigger pattern since 2018, with fratts like PyKappa Alpha, PyKappa Phi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon all catching suspensions, or probation for hazing.
