The Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity at Southern
Arkansas University was shut down yesterday after allegations that
members beat a pledge so badly that he was in the hospital for
eleven days.
University officials sent a letter to the fraternity, stating
that it is suspended indefinitely. The suspension must last at
least five years and accuses the fraternity of violating the
Magnolia university`s policy banning hazing.
On Monday, a Mountain Home lawyer filed a lawsuit on behalf of
19-year-old pledge Ty Keith, claiming he was beaten severely enough
that he had to have kidney dialysis and needs skin-graft surgery.
