WAMPSVILLE, N.Y. -- A second fraternity is suing Colgate University over the sale of its frat house.

 

Colgate's Phi Delta Theta chapter contends in its lawsuit that school administrators threatened to suspend and expel frat members if they didn't agree to the real estate transaction.

 

Colgate officials would not specifically comment on the lawsuit, but said the university is going ahead with its plan to take over Greek housing at the college.

 

Colgate decided to take control of the fraternity and sorority houses after a series of incidents that included sexual assaults, hazing, fights and a drunken driving accident in which four people died.

 

Under Colgate's plan, nearly all students would have to live in university-owned housing.

 

Frats and sororities that don't give up ownership of their property would cease to be recognized by the school.

 

Another fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon, filed a federal lawsuit in February accusing the university of violating antitrust and monopoly laws and students' constitutional rights.
