Miami University announced Wednesday that it is investigating hazing allegations involving a dozen campus fraternities.
The university has received 21 allegations since its fraternities and sororities started their annual “pledge process” on January 25.
As a result of the allegations, the university will require fraternities and sororities to finish pledging by Friday — two weeks earlier than initially planned.
“Miami does not tolerate hazing. Behaviors that endanger the health or safety of others violate the values of our fraternal organizations as well as of the university,” wrote Carole Johnson, spokesperson at Miami, in an email to this newspaper.
“Over the past few weeks we received reports related to the fraternity new-member process that have led to serious concerns, and we are thoroughly investigating all of them.”
