Op-Ed: It’s time for the University to stand up to EI
In 2001, the Epsilon Iota chapter of Alpha Tau Omega lost its charter and became unrecognized on AU's campus. The group members subsequently formed an unrecognized, underground “fraternity” known as Epsilon Iota or EI. Thirteen years later, in the spring of 2014, a 70-page document consisting of email threads and texts between EI members was leaked to the AU community. Not only did the document expose the group’s use of virulently homophobic, racist, ableist, sexist, and misogynist language, the emails also revealed that members of EI had committed acts of sexual violence against women who attended their parties.
