Spring 2015

  • Alpha Delta was found not responsible for hazing, but responsible for threatening or causing physical harm to new members in Fall 2014.  The organization was derecognized by the Organizational Adjudication Committee.  They considered the organizational history of the fraternity which included a previous finding of responsibility for hazing.  The activity was reported by a physician who had treated one of the brothers.  The activity was also invested by the Hanover Police Department.
