Vols T logoKNOXVILLE – University of Tennessee fraternities are implementing sweeping reform recommended by a Greek life task force that urged a change in culture.
The changes follow embarrassments that resulted in two UT fraternity chapters closing. The one that garnered most attention was an incident at the former Pi Kappa Alpha chapter house where members were found intoxicated after one was brought to a hospital emergency room passed out.
A police investigation said a wine enema was the cause of the extremely intoxicated 20-year-old’s condition, which became fodder for late night television humor.
The university closed the fraternity and a second one, Phi Gamma Delta, has also shut down its UT chapter.
The chapter adviser for Sigma Phi Epsilon, Kelly Williams, told the Knoxville News Sentinel it was time for change.
