Two Swarthmore University fraternity chapters say they are closing their doors in response to allegations of racist, misogynistic and homophobic behavior against past members that emerged in recent weeks

The disturbing accounts were included in documents from 2013 to 2016 that were leaked to two campus publications earlier this month. One of them, the 117-page"Phi Psi Historical Archive," included rape jokes and racist tropes among the pages of fraternity meeting minutes and scavenger hunt lists.The documents also included crude descriptions of sexual encounters and hazing and references to another fraternity's"rape attic" and"rape tunnel.

— Swarthmore Voices May 1, 2019 "DU and Phi Psi have disbanded in a testament to the power of survivor-led student organizing and direct action," the protesters said in a statement Tuesday night."They made the right decision, even as the College refused to. Our work is not finished yet."Delta Upsilon made its announcement first on a Facebook page that appears to belong to the fraternity.
