FORT VALLEY, Ga. (AP) — Fort Valley State University says the campus chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity has been suspended for five years as a result of an investigation of hazing.
The university says it has stopped Greek-letter social organizations on campus from taking in new members for an indefinite period.
The Telegraph newspaper in Macon reports that Vice President for Student Affairs Terrance Smith says all members and advisers of the groups will have to participate in a risk management workshop.
The decision was based on an investigation by the fraternity’s Southern Region office into allegations of hazing.
One member, 19-year-old Brian Tukes of Macon, was hospitalized with injuries his mother says stemmed from hazing at the fraternity house. Another member, 21-year-old Bryson Trumaine Amey of Fort Valley, was charged with felony assault.
