The Tau Kappa Epsilon chapter at Towson University is suspended pending an investigation by Towson, TKE, and the Baltimore County Police of an alleged hazing incident. The unidentified victim remains hospitalized after an incident last Thursday during a “pledge initiation event” when he was allegedly forced to eat cat food and drink a “substance” he was told was “vinegar and pickle juice.”
But the concoction may have actually been something toxic, given the damage that was done to his system. Family members spoke to WBAL about the incident saying, “he cannot eat anything as the substance he drank destroyed his tongue, esophagus, intestinal liner and stomach.” Meaning that this young man could possibly be damaged for life.
I’m hoping this was just some sort of horrible misunderstanding. To think that a chapter would encourage a brother, or potential brother, to take part in something like this is absolutely beyond me. We’re still waiting for news on what the verdict is and the chapter’s response, but in the meantime, we hope the guy makes a full recovery. As for Towson TKE, get your shit together guys..

Jenna spends her free time saving the world, one sorority girl at a time (usually while wearing yoga pants), questioning why she decided to get a doctorate, and documenting her love of all things cheese related. You can ask her anything you want about football, using your boobs to get what you want, and pizza at @JennaLCrowley on Twitter or via email at JennaLCrowley@gmail.com.
