MIAMI — The University of Miami fraternity that was shuttered last Friday after a video surfaced of members singing a disturbing chant about women has run into trouble at least two other times — once after two frat brothers were arrested on felony charges of making fake drivers’ licenses and the second for hazing allegations.
Different chapters of the same fraternity — Sigma Phi Epsilon, or SigEp for short — have also been suspended or shut down completely at the University of Florida, the University of Central Florida and Florida State University over the years.
Sigma Phi Epsilon’s most recent UM suspension stemmed from an Oct. 1 pool party at a home about 15 blocks west of the school’s Coral Gables campus. A video surfaced showing frat brothers leading a chant about having sex with a dead woman.
