WILMINGTON, Ohio (AP) — A fraternity at a southwest Ohio
college has been kicked off campus following what officials said was a
Halloween hazing incident that ended in a pledge requiring surgery for
an injury.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/1iyKdmt )
reports that Wilmington College said it will never again recognize Gamma Phi Gamma as a campus
organization.
The
Quaker college of about 1,000 students southeast of Dayton acted after
an Oct. 30 fraternity ceremony. Clinton County Municipal Court records
said the pledge was injured when he was struck with a towel "fashioned
as a weapon" and then needed surgery to have a testicle removed.
College
spokesman Randy Sarvis said the fraternity unsuccessfully appealed the
suspension. It can make a final appeal to college President Jim
Reynolds, but it wasn’t clear if that would happen.
