   Local civil rights leaders are calling for an Arizona State   
   University fraternity to be expelled after photos emerged of a   
   Martin Luther King Jr.-themed party where attendees wore   
   stereotypical hip-hop clothes and drank out of watermelon cups.   
      
   Leaders are planning a 2 p.m. press conference Tuesday outside   
   the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication   
   in downtown Phoenix.   
      
   The Rev. Jarrett Maupin is demanding the university revoke   
   recognition for the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, which was   
   already on probation for fighting with a rival fraternity before   
   this incident, off campus for good.   
      
   "We want them gone," he said.   
      
   Revoking a fraternity's recognition would mean the local chapter   
   could no longer recruit members or hold meetings on campus and   
   would no longer be recognized as a student organization by the   
   university.   
      
   A representative from the fraternity's national chapter said a   
   national staff member was at ASU Tuesday to begin an   
   investigation.   
      
   Images are circulating on social media of partygoers wearing   
   baggy basketball jerseys, gang-affiliated colored T-shirts and   
   bandanas. The partygoers also appeared to flash gang signs in   
   the photos and used hashtags such as 'blackoutformlk' and   
   'ihaveadream.'   
      
   The photos also show people at the party wearing saggy pants and   
   posing with hollowed out watermelon cups.   
      
   "ASU has suspended chapter operations, can and will take   
   additional action against the individuals involved, and is   
   meeting with the national TKE organization today to take further   
   action," said Sharon Keeler, an ASU spokeswoman.   
      
   "ASU has one of the most diverse student bodies of any major   
   university in the country, and it is unfortunate that a few   
   misguided individuals held an offensive party at a time when   
   ASU, the state and the nation are celebrating Dr. King's   
   achievements and legacy," Keeler said. "The university will not   
   tolerate this kind of behavior."   
      
   Tau Kappa Epsilon was already on university-imposed probation   
   for a 20-member assault on members of a rival fraternity in   
   November 2012. The incident took place in an off-campus   
   apartment complex. As part of the probation, the fraternity was   
   not allowed to have parties.   
      
   A Tempe police report says on 4 a.m. on Nov. 18, 2012, a group   
   of 20 or so Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity members walked into the   
   courtyard of the Hayden Terrace apartments, the unofficial   
   "home" of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. They turned over a   
   Ping-Pong table and then went up to a member of the fraternity   
   getting home from work. One man told him some "Dekes," as the   
   fraternity's members are known, had beaten up some TKE members   
   and they were there to get revenge. He then punched the Deke   
   member multiple times in the face.   
      
   The Deke member would tell police that four other men took turns   
   punching him. He suffered a concussion and a broken jaw.   
      
   The victim said the men then went to the apartments across the   
   street. Police went to the complex but saw no one who matched   
   the description. No one was arrested. ASU investigated the   
   incident and put the TKE fraternity on probation until May 17,   
   2014.
