GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The University of Florida suspended one of its fraternities on Friday after allegations that its members hurled drunken insults and spat at a group of disabled military veterans at a Panama City Beach resort.
The school said on Friday that it is charging the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity with obscene behavior, public intoxication, theft, causing physical or other harm, and damage to property.
The suspension came after the fraternity had already suspended operations itself and expelled three of its members after finding they had behaved inappropriately.
"I am personally offended and disappointed by the behavior that has been described to me," Dave Kratzer, the school's student affairs vice president and retired U.S. Army major general, said in a statement.
The situation occurred while the fraternity and veterans with the Warrior Beach Retreat were at the Laketown Wharf Resort last weekend. The veterans were there for an annual retreat meant to honor their service, and the fraternity had a social function.

This sounds good but we must remember that this is the argument that ISLAMs use. We must understand that the entire group has to be held accountable and they MUST police their own !!!
*HUG*
I know you would have!
We are small, but we have BIG spirit!
Love the graphic!
Good Lord. Who are these people? What motivates them?
Shouldn’t they punish the offenders? Why punish an entire group, did they ALL do it??
The future of America?
What motivates them is the leftist bilge they receive that is called a “college education”.
They have brains made of corn meal mush.
Yep. A lot of blacks are looking for trashy white girls. Anyone can say what they want but most of the major violent incidents does involve blacks.
Any white parent that has even a hint of decency wouldn’t let their children go down there for spring break.
People that live there need to make it as difficult for the businesses that want to have them down there.
I would be outraged if I lived anywhere in the area.
Something must have changed in the past 44 years, and I'm not being facetious.
You’re not walking out this time, you’re finished....
ZBT has a very long history of Animal House-like activities all over the country. Frats are no different than law enforcement or the military. Wherever they started from, they aren’t immune from the cultural degradation promulgated by educational institutions.
I agree. Lets not blame the entire fraternity, only those jerks who are guilty.
Sorry if my microagressions are making this not a safe space for you.
We went to PCB for a few days in advance of the wife’s convention at the Marriott there, to make a week out of it, about a dozen years ago. Two days in, we were headed out for dinner in the car, and out of nowhere, she turns to me and says “my new goal in life is to never have to come here again.”
It sounds like that is still valid. And she hasn’t been back.
Nobody likes spitters!
“$200,000 for a worthless “music education”...”
Damn, them’s some expensive piano lessons! What did they lead you to believe she would be able to do work-wise with such an expensive education?
TEK? You mean TKE? ZBT is a Jewish fraternity.
