Louisville Suspends TKE Chapter For Some Of The Weakest Hazing Allegations Yet
To start this off, I’d like to make the definition of hazing very clear. According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of hazing is as follows: “the practice of playing unpleasant tricks on someone or forcing someone to do unpleasant things.” Now that I have shared that, these allegations will seem even more ridiculous.
The University of Louisville suspended its Tau Kappa Epsilon chapter yesterday after photos surfaced of their pledges cheering at a game or pep rally while shirtless and wearing the fraternity’s letters painted across their torsos. Hold your shock. That’s not all this heinous chapter is accused of requiring of their pledges.
From Wave3 News:
“They also were required to serve as ‘designated drivers’ if the brothers were drinking, and to carry red binders—essentially a pledge manual,” Mardis said.
I should’ve slapped a NSFW tag on this article. The allegations are truly fucking horrifying. Requiring pledges to keep drunk drivers off of the road?! Carrying a pledge manual?! Shut these motherfuckers down.
The loser that said those words quoted above is Michael Mardis, the Dean of Students at Louisville, otherwise known as the idiot responsible for suspending the chapter over some of the weakest hazing allegations I’ve ever come across. They couldn’t even find evidence that they made a pledge drink a beer? Hell, maybe they were forced to wear certain clothes to class. Those dipshits at the university don’t even have that to level against the fraternity. This is new level bullshit.
Our buddy Mardis had the following to say about the fraternity.
“There was this environment, this expectation that you’re required to do these things,” Mardis said. “And if you don’t do those things you might not be able to become a member.”
He wrapped it up with this gem:
But Dean of Students Michael Mardis concedes many people might not consider the allegations “hazing.”
Those people are called “men,” Michael. Fuck your allegations.
If this is the road we’re heading down, it’s about to be a scary time for Greeks..

11 years ago at 9:52 amNever thought I’d agree with that sentence…
11 years ago at 10:26 amHonestly, a large part of why I drink is so I get to drunk drive. Its exhilarating .
11 years ago at 9:58 amI fucking hate everything you stand for
11 years ago at 10:06 amYou’re scum and I hope when you crash that no one else is in the car or on the road you miserable fuck.

11 years ago at 10:55 amForcing kids to be designated drivers…anarchy
11 years ago at 10:00 amThis is un-American.
11 years ago at 10:05 am“’There was this environment, this expectation that you’re required to do these things,’ Mardis said. ‘And if you don’t do those things you might not be able to become a member.’”
This could just as easily be about showing up to chapter or learning fraternity history.

11 years ago at 10:42 amYeah and my professors want me to actually do things when I go to class! And apparently if I don’t do them, they won’t let me pass! What an outrage! Can’t believe I’ve been hazed this whole time!
11 years ago at 10:58 amReplace “able to become a member” with “paid” and that’s called any job ever.
11 years ago at 11:08 amI had similar thoughts. If I didn’t show up to work, I’d be called and if I didn’t respond, be placed in an AWOL status. Sounds like incentive to me, if I want to continue receiving a paycheck.
