All Ann Dean knew was that she was sup- *nJ
posed to deliver a pizza to the Sigma Alpha Ep- Pu
silon house at the University of Kansas. But

once at the door, she was greeted by an irate,
intoxicated student who knocked the two pizzas
out of her hand, threw one at her and began inl
screaming racial insults at her. tb<
The frightened Dean ran to get help.
The unnamed student's fraternity brothers le<
were mortified and embarrasssed. They sus- Pr
pended the student for "conduct unbecoming of
a gentleman." so

Indeed, as the nationwide crackdown on
fraternity misbehaviors enters its fourth year, Si
some schools are punishing fraternities not only V:
for dangerous fraternity practices and policies, Sa
but also for the unrelated actions of individual
students who may belong to a fraternity. ca

houses' policies and lack of supervision with
iistressing frequency.
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."
Fraternity members, says Sigma Phi Epsilon's
Maddox, "reflect the values and mores ol
the university. It's their students we're talking
about."
