Delta Sigma Phi was expelled because of a hazing incident during initiation week earlier this month when three pledges allegedly kidnapped an active fraternity member. Police said the pledges blindfolded the victim, placed him in a chokehold that caused him to lose consciousness, forced him to drink beer and drove around with him while he was restrained with duct tape for approximately 45 minutes.
