Fraternity disputes allegations from Women's March



LINCOLN -- The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity chapter at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln said an internal investigation into allegations made against its members following the Women’s March on Lincoln last weekend turned up no wrongdoing.

Joe Skradski, an adviser to the fraternity for 10 years, said allegations have caused an unwarranted “onslaught of criticism” against the organization and permanently harmed its reputation in the Greek community.

The march in Lincoln, which coincided with hundreds around the world, started at UNL, and marchers passed the FIJI house on their way to the Capitol.

Social media posts after the march said members of the fraternity shouted sexually harassing statements to the protesters, including “no means yes” and shouting a phrase related to President Donald Trump saying in 2005 he could grab women by their genitals.
