Ole Miss fraternity suspended over hazing allegations after video surfaces

"The University is aware of the videos and takes allegations of hazing seriously," UM told Fox News Digital in a Tuesday statement. "The university has placed the Mississippi Alpha Chapter of Phi Delta Theta on interim suspension, which includes pausing some new member activities. This should not impact the activities of other organizations on campus."

"Upon learning of the allegations, general headquarters has been working with the chapter, alumni, and the university to investigate," the Phi Delta Theta national headquarters told FOX 13 in a statement. "Members found to be involved have had their memberships suspended, with further disciplinary actions to be taken as necessary."

The fraternity's national organization added that it "does not tolerate any actions that directly contradict the values and policies of the fraternity and holds strict rulings against members and chapters that violate fraternity expectations and the law."
