College drops 24 of 27 hazing charges against SAE members
Samantha Oh / The Dartmouth Staff The Undergraduate Judicial Affairs Office has dropped 24 of the initial 27 hazing charges against members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity in the wake of hazing allegations by former SAE member Andrew Lohse '12 in a January opinion column in The Dartmouth, according to former SAE president Brendan Mahoney '12. The charges were withdrawn after SAE provided "physical evidence that proved specific claims by Lohse false," Mahoney said. Three members of SAE still face outstanding disciplinary action. "We expect all cases to be resolved soon and wish to continue our conversations with the College about hazing," Mahoney said. SAE is also facing hazing charges as an organization, College Director of Media Relations Justin Anderson previously told The Dartmouth.
