RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina State University became the latest school to crack down on its fraternities by banning alcohol at events for most of the organizations, a move that came after a racially offensive pledge book was discovered and a separate sexual assault investigation launched.
A news release Friday from university spokesman Fred Hartman said the school worked with the Interfraternity Council to temporarily suspend social events that involve alcohol for more than 20 fraternities. The ban doesn't apply to historically black Greek organizations, or the Multicultural Greek Council.
The Pi Kappa Phi chapter was suspended after derogatory comments attributed to members in a notebook were found at a restaurant near campus. Separately, new details about a drug paraphernalia seizure surfaced in a search warrant related to a sexual assault allegation at Alpha Tau Omega, which was suspended earlier this month.

Sounds unAmerican.... Whiskey Rebellion and all....
State ping.
Yep “temporarily” and “most” ... yea, that will work.
Sure,that will work. /s
.
“NC State temporarily bans alcohol at most fraternity events”
Because prohibition has worked so well in the past... and in the present.
I wish they would ban ALL drug and alcohol use by college “students” one month prior to all elections. Maybe we can keep sleazebags like Soetoro and Rodham out of the White House.
“The ban doesn’t apply to historically black Greek organizations, or the Multicultural Greek Council. “
OH, I get it now. Whites are banned to drink yet any other color, it’s definitely alright to booze up. This hopeychangey’ crap sure changed the country..
While the black frats shout “nigga” all night long...
Did anyone even look at the other books for the other non-white frat members? Betcha’ there’s “not” one scribbled that says ‘gringo or honky’ in it..s/
I'll take bad elections before I want to ban freedom from over 18 year olds.

The black frats do not belong to the Interfraternity Council.
The alcohol ban only applies to the Interfraternity Council.
Now, tell me where and when a college student will learn to drink? Downtown? Nah, too dangerous and liable to get a DUI.
Way over the top control by the Universities.
Kappa Sigma brother for a long time. The legal age in NY was 18 when I was in school. NO DUIs and no trouble with the school administration/Dean etc. Our Fraternity was a haven for us and well appreciated by all, students, faculty, admin....what has happened now is out of control behavior by both sides.
This is racists and sexist and I am deeply offended.
"Thanks.....I needed that."
I need to find an animated .gif of the “handshake” parade float ripping in two. That would really be the perfect image to accompany this article.
Why in the he11 would anyone go to college if you couldn't drink?
Geez?
Of course I found that being fat, drunk and stupid was no way for me to successfully negotiate life. Wasted opportunities on my part.
