<p>Aabrams: </p> <hr /> <div>In early February of 2013, &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Zeta Beta Tau]]&#039;s&#039;&#039;&#039; charter was revoked for hazing. Neither the [[InterGreek Council]] nor [[Student Affairs]] has shared any details. Informed rumor has it the the field hockey team was somehow involved, but no action has been taken against them, and [[Columbia Athletics]] has not shared any details. <br /> <br /> In March 2013, Dean Kevin Shollenberger reversed the [[Greek Judicial Board]]&#039;s decision to revoke the charter. The fraternity agreed to follow a plan of action created by fraternity leadership and the University following Shollenberger&#039;s decision. The incident will probably never come out definitively, although IGC members have confirmed that it was egregious and rather disgusting, prompting surprise that Shollenberger reversed the decision.<br /> <br /> Widespread, well-placed rumors held that the field hockey team was hazing its [[first-years]] in the ZBT house, which would explain why KevSho reversed the decision.<br /> <br /> In fall of 2013, the [[Spec]] reported that the hazing incident was in fact the field hockey team and not ZBT. The [[Spectator]] article detailed the event, getting ZBT brothers and alumni to talk about the hazing incident and adjudication process. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2013/10/01/field-hockey-hazing-expelled-brothers-led-zbt-housing-loss-alums-say&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In November of 2013, the brothers of ZBT decided to resign their membership in the chapter, and the national organization suspended operations at Columbia until 2015. &lt;ref&gt;http://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2013/11/20/after-members-resign-zbt-suspends-columbia-chapter&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2013/02/06/inter-greek-council-judicial-board-votes-rescind-zeta-beta-tau-charter-after-hazing Spec&#039;s article on ZBT&#039;s lost charter]<br /> * [http://bwog.com/2013/02/08/igc-lets-play-the-quiet-game/ IGC tells Greek orgs never to talk to media]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Greek scandals]]</div>
