After violent hazing involving a spiked paddle, Miami University frat suspended until 2034

Miami University has suspended a fraternity involved in violent hazing for 15 years, the harshest such penalty ever imposed by the university.

Members of Delta Tau Delta hit students with a spiked paddle, kicked them, spit on them and forced them to smoke marijuana and drink substantial amounts of alcohol, according to a report released earlier this year.

Delta Tau Delta has been suspended at least twice by MU officials since 2000.

Claire Wagner, a university spokeswoman, wrote by email that the fraternity violated the Miami University Code of Conduct.

I'm glad the college I went to didn't have any "Greek" organizations, so I didn't kind of unwittingly wander into joining one and becoming part of that culture.

It sounds so... Brett Kavanaugh. "I like beer! I like abusing and humiliating people!"

Some of my fellow freshmen classmates pledged, and I guess part of it was looking for more recruits, and they knocked on my door in the dorms while I was napping one rainy Saturday afternoon. They had their paddles that they had to get other brothers to sign or whatever, and they were so hopeful when I opened the door, and I just went, "Ha-ha-ha-ha... no." And shut the door and went back to my nap.
