NC State bans alcohol at events hosted by frats

RALEIGH, N.C.

North Carolina State University became the latest school to crack down on its fraternities by banning alcohol at events for most of the organizations, a move that came after a racially offensive pledge book was discovered and a separate sexual-assault investigation launched.

A news release Friday from university spokesman Fred Hartman said the school worked with the Interfraternity Council to temporarily suspend social events that involve alcohol for more than 20 fraternities. The ban doesn’t apply to historically black Greek organizations, or the Multicultural Greek Council.

The Pi Kappa Phi chapter was suspended after derogatory comments attributed to members in a notebook were found at a restaurant near campus. Separately, new details about a drug paraphernalia seizure surfaced in a search warrant related to a sexual-assault allegation at Alpha Tau Omega, which was suspended earlier this month.
