PROVIDENCE, R.I.--Brown University last week took Phi Delta Beta fraternity off a probation imposed last month after an alleged incident of group sex there.
Erik Widmer, dean of student life, said he and university President Howard Swearer decided to lift the probation after a committee investigating the incident reported that "there was no incident of sexual coercion or debasement" at the March 8 house party.
The committee found that initial reports of a group sex incident with two women and as many as ten men had been exaggerated, and that there had actually been two separate incidents, each with only a few people.
Another fraternity, Delta Tau, which was placed on probation at the same time as Phi Delta Beta, remains on probation. Delta Tau members allegedly threw a sofa out of an upstairs window, set it on fire and then urinated on it.
