Fraternity returns to Tennessee after ban over alcohol
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A fraternity suspended from a Tennessee university after a student was hospitalized from what police said was an alcohol enema is returning this fall.
The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity said in a statement Thursday that it will be back on the University of Tennessee campus for the fall semester after a four-year suspension.
The fraternity was suspended after a September 2012 party ended with one student in the hospital with a nearly 0.45 percent blood alcohol level. A police report said he had received an alcohol enema. The student denied it.
The party led to criminal charges and a suspension of the fraternity on campus until at least 2015. The chapter surrendered its campus charter as part of a plea agreement, and UT formed a task force that pushed for reforms at fraternities and sororities on campus.
