Suspended Quinnipiac fraternity denounces hazing

HAMDEN, Conn. (AP) A fraternity suspended at a Connecticut university amid hazing allegations says it doesn't tolerate hazing and is cooperating with the university's investigation.

Quinnipiac University officials have temporarily shut down Tau Kappa Epsilon, expelled a student and suspended two other frat members.

Officials at the private university noted for its polling institute announced the actions Tuesday. University officials have declined to release details of the allegations.

University public affairs vice president Lynn Bushnell says the university issued a cease and desist order to the local fraternity chapter, prohibiting it from operating until the student disciplinary process is complete. Bushnell says other fraternity members have been sanctioned and several more will face the disciplinary process.

Quinnipiac has 6,500 undergraduate and 2,500 graduate students and has campuses in Hamden and North Haven.
