Police are investigating Tau Kappa Epsilon at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee after four people showed signs of being given a date rape drug at a frat party last week.
Three women were hospitalized after becoming severely intoxicated and having memory lapses after drinking at the Tau Kappa Epsilon house. They were all found to have a red X on their hands, the Journal Sentinel reported. A man with a black X on his hand was also taken to a hospital; he had been drinking from cups given to a female friend marked with a red X.
After interviewing several partygoers, police found that they received a black or red X when they entered, the Journal Sentinel reported. Several people said some shots of vodka looked cloudy, and that drinks were mixed underneath the bar, out of view.
One woman said a fraternity member got upset with her when she tried to mix her own drink.
University representatives said the fraternity was suspended while the investigation continued.
