A University of Miami fraternity was shut down after an on-campus party allegedly featured spiked drinks and anti-women chants.
The Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter, around since 1949, closed on Friday, according to NBC South Florida.
This followed an investigation into anonymous reports accusing partygoers of altering drinks and videos that showed frat members chanting about violence toward women, according to the New York Post.
“The National Headquarters received admissible information that SigEp members violated policy and engaged in actions that are not aligned with the values of this Fraternity,” Sigma Phi Epsilon chief communication officer Heather Matthews said in a statement to NBC South Florida.
“We expect SigEp chapters to provide their members and campus community a safe and supportive environment.
“That’s the cornerstone of a positive Fraternity and university experience, so we take that expectation seriously and hold our chapters to that standard.”
A Miami Herald report detailed how the chant in the video was a song about having sex with a dead woman after she died while giving fellatio.
One girl, who only went by Abby, told The Miami Hurricane she and her friend had white powder in their drinks and after the party heard from other girls who were at the bash that said they thought they were roofied or knew someone who thought they were.
No criminal charges connected to the party have been reported.
Sigma Phi Epsilon hosted the “Adult Swim” party on Oct. 1.
