University of Mississippi fraternity kicks out suspected vandals of James Meredith statue | theGrio

– A national fraternity indefinitely suspended its
chapter at the University of Mississippi after three members were
suspected of hanging a noose around a statue of the school’s first black
student.

“It is embarrassing that these men had previously
identified with our Fraternity,” Sigma Phi Epsilon CEO Brian C. Warren
Jr. said in a statement provided to NBC News on Saturday.

Members of Sigma Phi Epsilon’s Alpha Chapter also voted
to expel the suspected vandals who are thought to be involved and
decided to turn their names over to university and investigative
authorities, the statement said.
