The Kappa Alpha fraternity national office ousted the University of Florida's chapter off campus for two years as the penalty for sending pledges on a sign-stealing spree, forcing them to rigorously exercise without water and demanding that they drive other members from bar to bar on various days of the week. All activities are considered hazing.
"Given today's climate and our own fraternity's stance against hazing, we can't tolerate that type of behavior in our chapter," said Larry Wiese, executive director of the Lexington, Va.-based organization.
The group's house on fraternity row is being closed down and Kappa Alpha will not be allowed to have a presence on campus for two years. Thirty or so members are being forced to find new housing immediately.
