ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit by a George Mason University fraternity that claimed its constitutional rights were infringed when it was expelled from campus for hazing and other violations.
The Sigma Chi chapter at George Mason claimed the Fairfax school violated its members' rights to free speech, freedom of assembly and due process. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, however, found that the plaintiffs were not deprived of any constitutional rights.
The university expelled the Sigma Chi chapter in 2006 for violations including hazing, providing alcohol to minors and twice "sponsoring a party under conditions that resulted in sexual assault on a female guest."
