Greek sources have reported that the ATO philanthropy, and one of UCF’s largest and most successful, has been cancelled due to the current suspension the fraternity has been placed on by UCF.
ATO is currently being investigated by UCF in response to hazing allegations from an anonymous person. A hearing held on Tuesday by UCF upheld the fraternity’s suspension until a formal hearing can be held.
Rock the Wreath is Alpha Tau Omega’s annual philanthropy and arguably one of UCF’s largest and most successful in terms of donations raised. The event was to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network and Knight-thon.
Past headliners at the event include Hawthorne Heights, Mayday Parade, Between the Trees, Gym Class Heroes, We the Kings and Big Sean. This year’s event, scheduled on Nov. 28, was to headline the Ying Yang Twins.
The Facebook page for this year’s Rock the Wreath event was also taken down this afternoon.
Local 6 reported last night that the ATO fraternity brought a lawyer onto its team in its fight against UCF.
