OU Throws The Book At Unruly RUF/NEKS

From www.newsok.com ~ The University of Oklahoma has banned current members of the RUF/NEKS spirit group from official university events, according to a statement released today by OU spokesman Blake Rambo. A university investigation found members of the RUF/NEKS this semester had abused alcohol and hazed pledges in various ways, including "sleep deprivation, physical exhaustion, demeaning actions and the potential for physical harm.” Pledges and former pledges will be allowed to be part of the spirit group for the remainder of this football season. The RUF/NEKS, which started in 1915, will be reorganized under the athletic department's direction beginning with the spring semester, according to the statement.
