University officials planned to shut down Wesleyan’s Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity when they pushed back on a university requirement that would require the frat to admit women. DKE filed suit against the university.

Future of Wesleyan’s DKE frat in hands of judge

The future of a fraternity at Wesleyan University will be in the hands of a judge Wednesday.

University officials are requiring the frat to admit women and provide housing for them, and frat members are accusing the school of discrimination.

There are just two fraternities and one sorority on campus, reports CBS News’ Adriana Diaz. Only 4 percent of the student body participates in Greek life — and that number could soon be smaller.

The university plans to shut down Delta Kappa Epsilon’s frat house because it says members did not comply with a new school directive to include women.

“I think it’s a really tragic loss for the campus, but also for my brothers,” said the fraternity’s vice president, Will Croughan.

The liberal arts school is forcing residential fraternities to go co-ed, after a string of sexual assault charges on campus. In September, Wesleyan President Michael Roth said that if fraternities wanted to keep their on-campus housing, they needed to start admitting women.

In a letter he wrote, “Women as well as men must be full members and well-represented in the body and leadership of the organization.”

Later, the university said fraternity housing should be open to females.
