Noose draped on historic Ole Miss statue
(CNN) -- The Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity has closed its chapter at the University of Mississippi after three of its members were suspected of tying a noose around the neck of a campus statue of civil rights icon James Meredith.
Meredith was the first black student admitted to Ole Miss, which is in Oxford.
"The decision is not a result of any individual incident, but a response to newly discovered, ongoing behavior that includes incidents of hazing, underage drinking, alcohol abuse, and failure to comply with the university and fraternity's codes of conduct," the fraternity said in a statement Thursday.
"Though the incident involving the James Meredith statue several months ago did not directly result in the chapter's closure, it did mark the beginning of an intensified period of review."
In February, someone placed a noose around the bronze statue and left behind a flag with the symbol of the Confederacy.
The fraternity said then that it would expel the three students.
"Sigma Phi Epsilon is committed to being a different kind of fraternity -- one that recognizes the importance of the out-of-classroom experience and is committed to making that experience the safest and most empowering part of a college male's life," CEO Brian Warren said in the statement.
"Though it's always painful to close a chapter, these students' actions clearly illustrate a determination to perpetuate an experience based on risky and unconstructive behavior. In these cases, we have no choice but to close the chapter and return to campus at a later date."

Burning Mississippi
If Muslim terrorists are blowing things up, it's......they are few and don't really represent Islam. If a few religious fanatics are freaking out over religion.....they are a few over zealous ones, not a representation of religious folks.
BUT...all Mississippians are uneducted rednecks, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone here ever been to Mississippi?
Tommie Smith grew up here in central Cali over in Lemoore wasn't it him and New Yorker John Carlos who complained the loudest about racial problems?
Who is overlaying that all white people are racist? These are an act of a few but if you're going to condone this blatant act then you deserve being lumped in with the few 'bad apples.' Yes there are Muslim terrorists but there are also Christian terrorists, Hindu terrorist, and on and on. It's just the media and fear mongering that make you think that all Muslims are extremists. There are good people in the Magnolia state as there are bad peeps, too.
