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

ATO national office calling going down on a girl ‘offensive’… I think I’ve heard enough
10 years ago at 12:37 pmTFM is one of the main reasons Indiana and the Nationals acted so quickly. Thank you tfm for fucking our fraternity.
10 years ago at 12:41 pmOh yeah, definitely TFMs fault. Not the idiot who filmed it. Not his fault at all.
10 years ago at 12:43 pmWould have never been in the national spot light if TFM had not brought it to light. Sure the guy shouldn’t have filmed it, but TFM shouldn’t have put it in the national spot light
10 years ago at 12:54 pmYou’re bright.
10 years ago at 12:57 pmThe simple solution is to stop doing stupid things in public. Eat your whores alone in a dank, cum-riven back alley where the only witnesses are the starving rats and the teaming pubic lice. Like I did.
10 years ago at 1:08 pmThis video hit the front page of reddit so fast, you’re completely asinine if you really believe this blowing up is TFM’s fault.
10 years ago at 1:13 pmReally? Because a quick Google search after TFM’s posting yielded dozens of results, none of which were TFM, and many were more well-known.
10 years ago at 1:17 pmWow.
10 years ago at 12:46 pmMost of us here know how a fraternity scandal works, and we know you know this isn’t your first time going through the works of a PR shitstorm. If you knew word was gonna get out (you probably did) it was obviously on you guys to get your ducks in a row. TFM didn’t do a damn thing to fuck you
10 years ago at 1:01 pmIt starts when somebody films it and posts it online. This is isn’t the 1990 when almost nobody used the internet. Shit gets passed around more easily and more frequently than steve holts mom at Mardi Gras
10 years ago at 1:11 pmBlaming everyone except yourself for your wrongdoings #TLiberalM
10 years ago at 1:39 pmAs someone who goes to IU, it’s been a long time coming. The administration’s been looking for that “gotcha” moment because they were always right on the verge of getting kicked off. Right or wrong, they were pretty trashy guys and I can’t say I’m sorry to see them go.
10 years ago at 12:42 pmIf that guy chose to knowingly put herpes directly on his tongue then goddammit, this is America, and he has to right to do as he chooses.
10 years ago at 12:43 pmI support a man’s right to choose.
10 years ago at 1:07 pmAs far as I’m concerned TFM is responsible for the closing of ATO…Washington Post article quote: “The first Web site to mention the video appears to have been the college humor site Total Frat Move, which has broken fraternity hazing and sex scandals in the past. Earlier on Wednesday, the site posted a short article discussing the video without mentioning ATO.” This would have never been a big issue if TFM didn’t make it one
10 years ago at 12:53 pmI’m so sorry for recording the sex act and leaking it to the public. Please forgive me.
10 years ago at 12:55 pmThanks for linking the video to Indiana ATO, bringing it into the national spot light for anti fraternity radical to ridicule. TFM was the first to do this story and the only reason it has become such a big story. A large part of the reason ATO is kicked off is because of TFM.
10 years ago at 1:04 pmOr, you know, it wasn’t the MULTIPLE other news sources that picked it up, or it being one of the top trends on Facebook. No, blame a satire website run by a bunch of has beens and never were (or existed, fuck you Steve Holt) for the problems that the chapter themselves created. Don’t play the victim card when you are the one who caused the issue to begin with.
10 years ago at 1:14 pmtake a lap, billy
10 years ago at 1:15 pm“Thanks for linking the video to Indiana ATO” …well now it’s obvious you never read my article. I didn’t link to anything. I actually turned comments off so the readers couldn’t link it, either. I forgive you.
10 years ago at 1:42 pmAlso you can still comment on posts on the app even if you remove the comments on the site
10 years ago at 2:06 pm…now that everyone knows it was IU ATO and that chapter doesn’t even exist anymore can we turn the comments back on?
10 years ago at 5:19 pmBilly224 you need some lotion for that burn
10 years ago at 9:35 pmRecording a bunch of half naked boy while one of them gives head. TDornM
10 years ago at 2:03 pmSeriously? By the time TFM had this online it was already viral. How the fuck to you think TFM found it? You think the moron who videoed it sent it to Dorn? Grow the fuck up. The fool who recorded it is the one who needs to be fucked in the ass by a raging rhinoceros, not TFM.

10 years ago at 12:55 pmATO has tried to go down on worse.

10 years ago at 12:58 pmI don’t see what the damn issue is.

10 years ago at 1:00 pmDorn – Why don’t you tell Bacon or whoever the asshole was that “loves” reading Jezebel that their take on it was a serious discussion on whether either the guy or the stripper were being raped, due to the fact that there was a large crowd encouraging them, constituting peer pressure and the inability for either for either of them to truly consent because of that….Just……Christ.
10 years ago at 2:53 pmVery confused as to how they are in deep shit?
10 years ago at 12:59 pmDamn, South Park saw this one coming years ago. Damn you Trey and Matt. Damn you to hell.
