The BGSU chapter was put on “administrative suspension”, added the fraternity. “We will also seek the permanent suspension of the Delta Beta Chapter, as well as the expulsion of all members of the Chapter of the International Fraternity.
A BGSU spokesman told CNN that he also put his Pi Kappa Alpha chapter on provisional suspension.
“Investigations by the local police and the university are ongoing,” Alex Solis, a spokesman for BGSU, told CNN in an e-mailed statement. “However, I can confirm that we have placed Pi Kappa Alpha in provisional suspension for alleged hazing activity.”
“BGSU is committed not only to student conduct and law enforcement investigations, but to a thorough investigation into the prevention and compliance responsibilities of each Greek chapter under university policies that prohibit prank calls,” wrote the university.
Duncan Faulk, Foltz’s first-year roommate at BGSU, lamented his friend.
Foltz’s family was able to donate their organs, Alto said.
