RUSTON, La. —
Louisiana Tech University has suspended a campus fraternity for its practice of branding its initials into the flesh of its members, university officials said.
A school committee last week suspended Delta Kappa Epsilon because branding violates the school’s anti-hazing policy, said Jean Hall, vice president for student affairs.
The fraternity was placed on probation for five months in 1990 for allegedly hanging two dead cats as ornaments on a Christmas tree.
