IFC tables hazing motion, but may act on it March 6
A motion to strengthen the present constitutional ruling against hazing by fraternities was tabled Wednesday night by the Interfraternity Council (IFC) at a meeting at the Sigma Nu house
The present ruling requests that there be no hazing. The motion would abolish the practice, according to Bob Swinney, Bartlesville, Okla., senior and vice-president in charge of fraternity affairs.
An unclear understanding or the Judiciary Council's role in cases of hazing caused the motion to be tabled until the next meeting March 6. Swinney also said the motion had not been discussed by any Greek houses as yet.
Under the present system, the Judiciary Council may rule on hazing complaints made by individuals, the IFC executive committee or the dean of men's office.
The council may fine fraternities guilty of hazing up to $500 or place the chapter on probation.
Investigation is made by the vice-president in charge of fraternity affairs and a representative of the dean of men's office.
"The Council does not try the case as in a court of law. It just hears the facts. The new motion will define more clearly the scope of its activities." Swinney said.
