BREAKING: ATO Pledge NOT Involved In Viral Stripper Video, Still Shut Down By Nationals

Screen Shot 2015-10-08 at 12.27.54 PM

By now, you’ve watched or have at least heard about the viral video that was leaked online, showing a member of Alpha Tau Omega at Indiana University going to town on a stripper while surrounded by members of the chapter.

In the video’s wake, the fraternity was suspended by the university while an investigation into the matter was launched.

Meanwhile, ATO’s national organization was conducting their own investigation. They determined that, contrary to prevailing belief, the main character in the video — the one appearing to eat out the stripper — was not a pledge. He’s a 21-year-old active member of the fraternity.

The chapter has been shut down by the national office, citing the reason that the actions in the video are contrary to the ideals and principles of the fraternity.

Below is an official statement by Alpha Tau Omega.

Bad news for IU’s ATO chapter: They are shut down, and in some deep shit. The good news: The shit could have been a lot deeper. Thankfully for them, this wasn’t a pledge.

    If you think an active would willingly eat out a stripper’s pussy you’re absolutely retarded.

        I know one who did. And tried again on his 22nd birthday while in stop club. Didn’t work out that time.

    So they got shut down for sexual behavior outside the realm of “normalcy.” That doesn’t seem very progressive.

        Being a sexual deviant is worst kind of deviancy there is in this country. We should all know this.

    Don’t film this stuff, jesus christ. It’s supposed to be part of the reason you join a fraternity that you get to experience this shit with only your brothers and the people in the room.

      And when your nationals ask “Did you guys hire a stripper and have her strip naked and have one of your members eat her out against his will while the rest of the fraternity stood around cheering?”…. you can say “no we didn’t.” Idiots.

        It’s I Dont ‘t Know, not I don’t recall. I don’t recall implies that you don’t remember but may have had previous knowledge, I don’t know implies no knowledge whatsoever.

        Sigma Alpha Mu at the University of Michigan tried that during nationals’ investigation of damage to a resort. The national organization only wanted the names of those involved in the damage, and when the members had no comment the chapter was closed. I get the impression that the national organization only wanted to oust the members responsible, but given the no comment response they had to close the chapter.

        Throw your brothers under the bus and have them face legal charges or get shutdown by nationals was the choice. I think that unless it was one or two dumbasses that choice is an easy one

        ^ This comment is how we should all be thinking. Don’t film it, don’t throw brothers under the bus. That’s a real TFM

        Furthermore, the first thing any legitimate stripper tells you when they walk in the room is NO CAMERAS. Some dude in that room fucked up big time and is about to be hated for the rest of his college career.

      Still sucks that people find this shit offensive, there’s an unavoidable stigma of Fraternities built from years of shitty chapters and the liberal media. But at the end of the day isn’t it just a bunch of boys being boys? Obviously these are activities that mainstream society won’t condone, and thats OK, but why can’t we all just live and let live? Why can’t college students just exercise their right to assemble, have their stupid fun AND do their part to help those who need it?

      But I agree with you, and while I have a huge problem with the rules of the game, the people that forget to play by them ought to know what they are risking.

      The guy filming a brother doing stupid shit is just as guilty as the guy doing the stupid shit, not just here but in any situation involving filming. It’s honestly angering to here about a chapter being shut down because one jack ass had his phone out.

      Agreed. The best course of action dictates the risk manager collect all devices capable of capturing video or pictures prior to the start of similar style events.

        While true, it unfortunately reminds me, maybe not others, of “Big Brother” protecting us by collecting our guns. It’s a slippery slope.

      Satisfying a woman, NF. Clearly just gets you into trouble. This is all the justification i need to continue my disappointing selfish ways.

      It’s not the video taping that’s the problem, it’s the distribution. Share that shit in the Facebook group so everyone can have a laugh for years to come, but don’t be the asshat who passes it out to randoms or uploads it outside the group. THAT’S where they fucked up.

        It’s people like you that are the fucking problem. I doubt that they meant to spread this video all over the Internet. Somebody takes the video planning to do that but then shows someone outside the frat and somehow it gets out. Just don’t take your phone out and create evidence when you’re doing anything that the pc pussies will be offended by. For example a bunch of dudes watching a brother perform cunnalingus on a stripper

      Unless you’re white or in a frat. And if you’re white and in a frat, you have no freedom. Period.
