Brotherhood of the University of New Hampshire where students arrested during a drug raid 11 weekend has the Charter was revoked Monday by national leaders.
Nine Alpha Tau Omega brother arrested on drug charges earlier this week in their fraternity house in Durham. The other two were charged with disorderly conduct, and police expect to arrest more as the investigation continues. Deputy Police Chief Rene Kelley said Monday the man accused of selling marijuana and possesses and prescription medications.
The brotherhood has been issued a five-year suspension by the University last month for violation of alcohol, and a national leader of the brotherhood began proceedings to revoke the chapter Charter last week. The process was accelerated after the RAID and is expected to be completed Monday.
"Writing on the wall a week ago," said Wyn Smiley, chief executive officer of Alpha Tau Omega, who had the chapter 135 undergraduate and 7,800 members nationwide. "This is clearly not in accordance with the ATO policy and practice."
Smiley says he has some concerns about the behaviour of the police after hearing from alumni and lawyers who have talked to the students who are at home Sunday. Some have reported waking up with a gun pointed at their faces and made to strip during the attack, he said.
