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.

    I feel like nationals gave them the boot and had too much “pride” to change their decision

    I saw the video, and from what I could see, it looked 100% like the “pledge” or male in question was 1. not even performing oral sex on this “stripper” (it looked like his face was smashed into her stomach as opposed to her “private area”) and 2. it looked like it was extremely and completely unwilling on his part. It appeared that the woman in the video was holding the man stationary with her legs and it looked like he was struggling to get away from her. That’s just my two cents, but from what I saw it didn’t look like he was doing anything voluntarily.

    “Why’d your fraternity get kicked off campus?”
    “A brother went down on a hooker.”
    That has to be the most lame ass, softball reason to get kicked off. Hope she at least returned the favor.

    All chapter activities must cease. Or what? They get their charter revoked? Oh wait…
    Fuck nationals, if they want to meet then go ahead.
