Dartmouth fraternity Alpha Delta has been officially derecognized by the University. Alpha Delta was the inspiration for the Delta Tau Chi fraternity in the 1978 classic comedy film "Animal House."
The fraternity was already under suspension when it allegedly branded new members in the fall, prompting Dartmouth to take action. Alpha Delta's previous suspension was due to hazing and serving alcohol to minors, according to The Dartmouth.
The University ultimately found Alpha Delta in violation of the school's code of conduct. In this case, a "futile and stupid" gesture will not save the fraternity, like it did in the film.
