The University of Florida suspended its chapter of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity on Friday after several members were accused of insulting war veterans by spitting, urinating and pouring beer on them at Panama City Beach last weekend. “They actually spit on me and that’s just so disrespectful and it hurts. I come and I feel honored and I feel safe and that I belong, but now I feel like I’m defending myself,” one veteran told WJGH. University of Florida Student Affairs Vice President Dave Kratzer, a retired U.S. Army major general, said, “I am personally offended and disappointed by the behavior that has been described to me. This is not representative of our students or of the university.” The chapter has been placed on interim suspension pending a full investigation into the accusations.
