BOZEMAN – Montana State University issued a warning to students today to avoid or use great caution in attending parties in the Hawk’s Ridge condominium development southwest of campus.
The area, commonly known as “The Block” to students, has been the site of numerous parties since the start of school. The university is currently investigating the alleged drugging of drinks, a physical assault in which two men were struck in the head and required medical attention, and underage drinking associated with those parties.
As part of its investigation, the university has placed the SAE fraternity on an interim suspension. While the SAE fraternity house is not located in the Hawk’s Ridge condominium complex, several fraternity members are allegedly the hosts of some of the parties in the area. Staff at SAE’s national office are working closely with the university on this investigation.
