ZBT hazing scandal
In early February of 2013, Zeta Beta Tau's charter was revoked for hazing. Neither the InterGreek Council nor Student Affairs has shared any details. Informed rumor has it the the field hockey team was somehow involved, but no action has been taken against them, and Columbia Athletics has not shared any details.
In March 2013, Dean Kevin Shollenberger reversed the Greek Judicial Board's decision to revoke the charter. The fraternity agreed to follow a plan of action drawn up by the University following Shollenberger's decision. The incident will probably never come out definitively, although IGC members have confirmed that it was egregious and rather disgusting, prompting surprise that Shollenberger reversed the decision.
Widespread, well-placed rumors hold that the field hockey team was hazing its first-years in the ZBT house, which would explain why KevSho reversed the decision.
In fall of 2013, the Spec reported that it was field hockey stuff. The Spec article detailed the event, using only ZBT brothers and alumni for sources[1].
