The University of Missouri-Columbia has placed a fraternity on probation and ordered it to complete 640 hours of community service as punishment for a November opossum roundup.
The fraternity, Alpha Gamma Rho, also must develop an education program on animal cruelty and amend its constitution to prohibit events where animals are treated in violation of state statutes.
The sanctions, announced this morning by MU Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Cathy Scroggs, uphold the recommendations from the campus committee that proposed them. The fraternity cannot make a further appeal.
Alpha Gamma Rho’s adviser said the fraternity accepts responsibility for the November incident and will complete the sanctions.
