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.

    There’s also no way in hell that the kid was an active member. The video clearly shows the pledges in just their boxers while all the actives were fully clothed

      Yeah I don’t know too many actives that would all strip down to boxers as the (clothed) pledges watched them eat a stripper out. Something doesn’t quite add up…….

    This has always pissed me off… if a group of friends in a fraternity get together, it’s called an “event” and therefore needs approval. Why the fuck do they need approval to hang out? In their own home? Fuck nationals. Young men live a home, legally purchase a service, and two consenting adults engage in sexual activity. Oh, fraternity? Well, now it’s outrageously offensive.

    Don’t film your shenanigans. Don’t put your tongue in daddy issues. Cold sores aren’t a good look.

    ATO’s ideals don’t include munching box? I thought that was considered being a gentleman. Think of it as community service.

    In the video, he attempts to tap out but the bitch locks his head right in the cooch. That’s rape, boys.
