Phi Delta Theta International Fraternity separated a man from membership after learning of his alleged involvement in a sexual assault that was isolated from any Fraternity event.

Since learning of the incident, Phi Delta Theta officials have been working in conjunction with local alumni officers’ to further review the situation and will support local authorities in any way possible.

“Any action that is abusive or offensive towards women directly contradicts the values of the organization and violates our organizational policies.  A zero tolerance for this behavior exists as exhibited by this action.” said Director of Chapter Services Mike Wahba.
