Yale bans Bushes' fraternity for sexist chants

(CBS/AP) NEW HAVEN, Conn. - A prestigious Yale fraternity that counts both Bush presidents among its alumni is being banned from recruiting and activities on campus for five years, after pledges were ordered to chant obscenities against women.

Yale's Delta Kappa Epsilon chapter came under fire in October after pledges marched through campus and chanted phrases about sex acts including necrophilia. Chapter leaders later apologized, but the national fraternity office ordered them to stop all pledge activities.

In addition to the on-campus ban, Yale says it has also disciplined several members of the frat and asked its national office to suspend the chapter for five years.

Yale says the discipline was necessary to ensure "an educational environment free from harassment and intimidation."
