Three Illinois Wesleyan University students who allegedly injured a classmate during a fraternity hazing incident could be suspended or expelled, according to IWU Dean of Students Karla Carney-Hall.
“It’s just so incredibly disappointing, maddening, appalling that it would happen on our campus,” Carney-Hall said.
She said the university has suspended all Sigma Chi operations while the investigation continues.
The injured student is back in class. The student sustained injuries to his forehead. A photo on social media showed the student s forehead was badly bruised and cut.
Karney-Hall said the university discusses violence prevention with student organizations, but she said hazing remains a problem on college campuses everywhere.
For one, there were a few more wigs on screen.
There also was “a little bit more makeup,” said Ms. Penny Cost, that Sunday’s preacher.
Hope Church celebrated Drag Sunday on Sunday (April 11) with a message by Ms. Penny Cost and music, readings and prayer by other drag artists from central Illinois and beyond.
“It is our way of celebrating and uplifting the voices of drag artistry within the church,” Ms. Penny Cost said during the service.
The service also came in response to pushback and questions the church has received over the past few weeks.
The Illinois Great Rivers Conference’s Vermillion River District Committee on Ordained Ministry recently unanimously certified Hope Church’s director of operations, Isaac Simmons who goes by Ms. Penny Cost in drag as a candidate for ministry in the United Methodist Church.

The McLean County Health Department (MCHD) is suspending use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine after federal regulators recommended the vaccine be shelved because of rare reports of potentially dangerous blood clots.
Illinois State University officials said Tuesday the weekly clinic the health department hosts on Thursday will switch to the Pfizer vaccine, which requires a second dose.
The Pritzker administration also said it would follow the federal guidance against using the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
MCHD public affairs coordinator Marianne Manko said the health department received a “very small amount of the vaccine” prior to this week. The one-dose J&J shot was used primarily for targeted populations that health officials consider harder to reach, including college students and rural residents.
