Video Shows Frat Hazing Pledge by Making Him Give Oral Sex
A leaked video shows disturbing hazing from the Alpha Tau Omega chapter at Indiana University. In it, a pledge, who might be named Scotty, goes down on a woman in front of a crowd of shirtless frat brothers and pledges. The video, leaked briefly on Reddit but subsequently taken down, shows the pledge in his boxers with his head giving oral sex to a supposed stripper. Even odder than being in a room full of shirtless, cheering men, some naked guy stands over ‘Scotty’ kicking him as he gives oral sex. Frats are odd, but hey, brotherhood.
Watch the video but beware, NSFW.
Indiana University has suspended the chapter during their investigation.
Our campus is committed to a culture of care. Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) is suspended immediately, pending investigation into hazing allegations.

The frat has also taken proactive measures to get to the bottom of this situation.
Wynn Smiley, CEO of the national chapter of ATO, said the organization has suspended all activities of the IU chapter while it investigates.
“The video is highly offensive and is antithetical to the values of Alpha Tau Omega,” Smiley said in a statement emailed to IndyStar.com. “If confirmed, the men who were a part of such an outlandish incident do not represent the fraternity and damage the fraternity’s name for thousands of other ATO undergraduates and alumni across the country.”
Huh, ‘outlandish’? Par for the course when you consider people call the frat ‘AT Snow’, ‘AT Blow’, ‘The Party House’ and ummm, ‘The Rape House’. Yikes. Again, brotherhood. Nothing bonds brothers like sexual assault.
This is the same frat that used to have a party called ‘Ménage à Tau’. It was “an annual, exclusive soiree at which female guests drank expensive alcohol and wore lingerie.” It’s also a party where a woman claimed she was raped. Alcohol, lingerie, drunk college kids and the nickname ‘AT Blow’. What could go wrong?
The real initiation for these pledges wasn’t lining up to go down on a woman in front of other pledges and brothers. It was sharing the lifetime bond of oral herpes. ATO forever!
