Pennsylvania college's fraternities disband amid protests

SWARTHMORE, Pa. (AP) — The only two fraternities at a private liberal arts college in Pennsylvania have decided to disband amid outrage over documents containing derogatory comments about women and the LGBTQ community and jokes about sexual assault.

The decisions to disband Delta Upsilon and Phi Psi were both announced in social media postings the fraternities made late Tuesday night.

Dozens of student protesters at Swarthmore College had occupied the Phi Psi fraternity building during a four-day sit-in, calling for both fraternities to be shut down and the buildings put to other uses. The school had suspended fraternity activity while it investigated.

Earlier this month, two campus publications, The Phoenix and Voices, released internal Phi Psi documents from 2012 to 2016 that they say were anonymously leaked.
