Colorado State suspends group over food, sleep deprivation allegations
Fri., Aug 28, 2009

FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Colorado State University has withdrawn recognition of a sorority after an investigation into several alleged incidents of hazing, including being deprived of sleep and being made to eat cat food.

University officials on the Fort Collins campus temporarily suspended Zeta Phi Beta sorority in April and permanently withdrew recognition Aug. 5.

A police report obtained by The Rocky Mountain Collegian newspaper says pledges told authorities they were forced to eat cat food and perform "strenuous physical activity" that made one student seek medical attention.

Colorado State spokeswoman Dell Rae Moellenberg says university police investigated the allegations and contacted the district attorney, who won't file any charges.

A call for comment to the sorority's national office wasn't immediately returned. Zeta Phi Beta's Web site says the sorority was founded in 1920 by students seeking to depart from the traditional coalitions for black women.

Pretty tame compared to public "elephant walks" and acts of sodomy with various objects, as fraternities at colleges across the country get busted for from time to time.

I guess this is considered outrageous because this is a sorority instead? Cat food? Come on. Most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between cat food & pâté.

95% of frat boys/sorority girls are vapid jerkoffs anyways (privately and/or publicly)

^ there actually was a study done fairly recently where people literally couldn't tell the difference between dog food and pate.

My four cats would like to point out that they there is a much more important story, why cats are forced to eat cat food when they would much prefer the finest salmon!

Cat food won't kill you. :shrug: I think it's pretty much a given that if you pledge you are going to be hazed. The whole Frat/Sorority thing is not my cup of tea. Isn't it supposed to enhace the whole college experience? I don't see how.
