Most recently, West Virginia Wesleyan College President Thomas Courtice April 5 ordered Kappa Alpha fraternity to stop recruiting pledges for six months, and forbade the house's current pledges from becoming active members. Courtice, trying to rid the school of symbols ol oppression, was angered when KA members wore Confederate garb and two-inch rebel flags on their hats as part of "Old South" weekend. The costumes violated a campus moratorium on the use of such symbols. At Florida Memorial College in Miami, 18 members of Kappa Alpha Psi were expelled amid a police investigation into allegations they committed sexual battery at a "little sister" initiation party. At the party, women were asked tc wear T-shirts without bras so the fraternity men could douse them with water in the shower foi "purification."
