<p>Miami University has issued a summary suspension to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Kappa Tau fraternities following weekend misconduct by members of the two fraternities who, reportedly detonated fireworks in the fraternity houses.</p>

<p>When the officer reached the house, he saw fireworks being shot from the third story of the neighboring Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house, Varley said. The Oxford Fire Department was also present due to the fire alarm, but received no cooperation from members of either fraternity, Varley said.</p>

<p>“They flat out refused to cooperate all around,” Varley said. “Initially all police were looking for were fireworks. Unfortunately this had to become more than it needed to be.”</p>

<p>Because the members refused to cooperate, officers obtained a search warrant and proceeded to search the houses. Inside they found drugs, drug paraphernalia and fireworks, according to Varley.</p>

<p>Varley said OPD believes the drugs found in the house were cocaine and marijuana, but a lab has yet to officially confirm this.</p>

<p>The officers also found that fireworks had been detonated inside the house. When officers entered the house they found members of the fraternity asleep in their beds despite the ringing fire alarm, according to Varley.</p>

<p>“They could have ignited inside the house,” Varley said. “The real tragedy would have been if one of the houses had caught on fire some of the people might have never gotten out.”</p>

<p>Exactly. And while these activities continue unfettered at IU, they are punished severely and actually investigated at Miami. Cops are EVERYWHERE at Miami, and you only have to spend one evening there to see the difference.</p>

<p>Oh, and the other amazing thing at Miami. If you act like an idiot and are arrested, it is published in detail in the student publication and you face enormous peer shame.</p>
