Morgan State University Suspends Black Fraternity over Gay Applicant

Back in October, I posted the story about Brian Stewart and his story about Kappa Alpha Psi denying his membership because he's gay.

Well, after some investigation, Morgan State University officials has put that chapter on probation until 2015.

Here's the university's statement:

“The Alpha Iota chapter of Kappa Alpha [Psi] has been determined to have violated certain university regulations, procedures and policies. As a result, the chapter has been placed on disciplinary probation until fall 2015. During the probationary period, the chapter cannot register as an official organization or student group with the university. The chapter cannot participate in any university sponsored event or activity on or off campus.”

Interesting move.

Student claims Black Fraternity rejected him because he's Gay

Former Obama intern says he denied membership into Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity because he is gay.

Brian Stewart claims the chapter at Morgan State University rejected him because of his sexual orientation. He said that he heard some rumors and later found messages about him from the fraternity.

According to Brian, the messages were homophobic and full of derogatory language. One message says in part, "give him the perception of a fair and equal opportunity." Earlier this month, Brian received his rejection letter and quickly after that, filed a claim against the university and the fraternity. Morgan State University start their investigation soon after receiving the claim.

No word from Kappa Alpha Psi Inc.
