4 Fraternities At Tufts University Suspended After Hazing Accusations

MEDFORD (CBS) – Four fraternities at Tufts University are under investigation and suspended after accusations of hazing and sexual misconduct.

Tufts has issued cease and desist orders to those four fraternities and has suspended all fraternities from any social activity.

The decision comes after a column written in the student paper by a Tufts junior. He recounts hazing and sexual misconduct while rushing a fraternity in 2015.

The university says all fraternities will be required to take sexual misconduct and prevention training. School officials say they take the allegations seriously.

Spring recruitment for all fraternities and sororities at the school has been voluntarily suspended.
