If I were to tell you another OU fraternity has been suspended, you’d probably have one of two responses:
“Who died?” or “Shit. What song did they sing on the bus this time around?”
Fortunately, according to local media coverage about the recent suspension of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity—aka “FIJIs”—there are no deaths or racist chants on buses to report in this latest OU Greek Life scandal.
It’s just run-of-the-mill frat-life douchebaggery.
Here are the vague details via KFOR:
The University of Oklahoma has temporarily suspended the Nu Omega chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.
OU’s FIJI fraternity is under investigation for allegations of hazing, and while rumors are flying, the university is not releasing details. They sent News 4 the following statement:
“The OU Office of Student Conduct and the international headquarters of Phi Gamma Delta have temporarily suspended operations of the OU FIJI chapter due to misconduct and hazing allegations from September 2024. The chapter is currently undergoing the conduct process.”
Yep, the “rumors are flying.” KFOR didn’t have the courage to come out and say it, but the rumors allege physical abuse:
“It’s definitely pretty much how you get into a frat, it seems. But some of it’s actually extreme, just like with what this frat’s doing,” said Max Lalli, a student.
“Just sounds like physical abuse to me. I feel like that’s a little unnecessary. There’s definitely other ways you can approach hazing,” added Lalli.
Wait a second. Max Lalli? Please tell me that’s A) Dino Lalli’s offspring, and B) he’s named after Mad Max.
I kind of want to ask for more details about what happened, but then again, the last time I inquired about a non-racist controversy in the OU Greek system, I ended up being emailed an unedited photograph of topless sorority girls frolicking at some hazing initiation event.
Here's the edited version:
I’m not going to lie—that was an interesting email to receive.
That being said, I don't really need to see pics of FIJI brosephs below doing whatever it is they do – I bet it involves paddles, wet towels, and willow switches – to initiate the Aidens, Jacks, and Braydens into their cool kid club.
Back when I was a GDI in the late ’90s and early 2000s, I didn’t think frats could look or feel any douchier. I guess kudos to today’s college students, who look like the bad guys from Scent of a Woman, for showing that anything is possible!
Seriously, can you imagine spending your parents' good money to be friends with those dudes? That’s what OU should really be investigating!
Anyway, I guess I should wrap this up before I make every one of our readers who have kids in frats and sororities cancel their subscription. If you know what happened to get the FIJIs on the OU Greek system's naughty list, send us a message on the Tip Line.
Stay with The Lost Ogle. We’ll keep you advised.
