The university posted a tweet at 11:19 p.m. Wednesday night. It said: "Our campus is committed to a culture of care. Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) is suspended immediately, pending investigation into hazing allegations."
The university clarified in a second tweet that the allegations involved sexual misconduct.
The announcement follows the distribution of a sexually-explicit video -- the authenticity of which has not been verified.
A video is circulating on Twitter that purports to show a pledge performing a sex act on a woman as part of a hazing ritual.
Wynn Smiley, CEO of the national chapter of ATO, said the organization has suspended all activities of the IU chapter while it investigates.
"The video is highly offensive and is antithetical to the values of Alpha Tau Omega," Smiley said in a statement emailed to IndyStar.com. "If confirmed, the men who were a part of such an outlandish incident do not represent the fraternity and damage the fraternity's name for thousands of other ATO undergraduates and alumni across the country."
