No Criminal Charges In Alpha Phi Alpha Hazing

The University of Central Arkansas Police Department is not pursuing criminal charges against individuals accused of hazing Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity pledges.Lt. Rhonda Swindle of UCAPD said charges are not being pursued “due to the victims not wishing to pursue criminal charges.”

“This is the kind of case where you’d really need to get the victims on the witness stand … They didn’t want to pursue criminal charges and we really can’t go forward with a case like this,” Swindle said.

Though not all of those accused are UCA students, those that are may still face individual disciplinary action from the university administration.

The UCA Greek Judicial Board ruled in April that the fraternity is to be banned from the university for three years, and both the board and the fraternity’s national organizing body have ordered that all chapter advisers be removed from their roles, and that the chapter undergo a hazing workshop and host a program on hazing once per semester.

The allegations of hazing came on March 31 after a student called the University of Central Arkansas Police Department saying that pledges were being struck on the buttocks with a paddle and slapped on the chest and back.
