密歇根州立大学兄弟会遭临时停办调查:涉毒视频引发校方与全国总部双重调查

密歇根州立大学11月2日确认,该校一个兄弟会因“令人深感担忧的不当行为”正接受调查并已被临时停办。事发地在密歇根州英厄姆县东兰辛市(East Lansing)的该校校园。
校长 Kevin Guskiewicz 表示,校方已对该学生组织启动调查。大学发言人 Emily Guerrant 向媒体表示,促使调查的因素包括一段10月30日在社交平台X上发布的视频,视频中疑似该兄弟会成员涉嫌使用非法药物。校方目前正在核实这段视频是否为近期拍摄。
涉事组织为 Sigma Alpha Epsilon 兄弟会的密歇根伽马分会。根据该校兄弟会与姐妹会生活组织状态记录,调查于11月1日启动,临时停办意味着该组织在调查期间不得参与或举办任何活动。
兄弟会全国总部也已采取行动,下令该分会立即停止一切分会运作,包括社交聚会、招新、活动和成员教育,直至另行通知,并表示分会正在全力配合密歇根州立大学与总部的审查。全国总部在声明中说,从初步审查看,视频中出现的四名成员涉嫌美化非法药物使用,视频据信拍摄于一年多以前;总部已将这四名疑似涉事成员停权。校方与总部均未公布调查完成的时间表。

Michigan State Fraternity Suspended Pending Investigation After Video Alleging Drug Use
Michigan State University confirmed on November 2 that one of its fraternities is under investigation and has been placed on interim suspension over "deeply concerning" inappropriate behavior, at its campus in East Lansing, Ingham County.
President Kevin Guskiewicz said the university has opened an investigation into the student organization. University spokesperson Emily Guerrant told reporters that factors behind the investigation include a video posted on X on October 30 that appears to show fraternity members engaged in alleged illegal drug use. Officials are working to determine whether the video is recent.
The organization is the Michigan Gamma chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. According to the university's fraternity and sorority life chapter status records, the investigation began November 1, and the interim suspension bars the chapter from participating in or hosting any activities during the inquiry.
The fraternity's national headquarters has also ordered the chapter to cease all operations, including social gatherings, recruitment, activities and member education, until further notice, and said the chapter is cooperating fully with both reviews. In its statement, the national organization said an initial review indicates four members in the video allegedly glorified illegal drug use, and that the video is believed to have been recorded more than a year ago; the four suspected members have been suspended. Neither the university nor the headquarters has given a timeline for completing the investigations.
