Editing Psi Upsilon (section)

=== University of Pennsylvania chapter closure ===
On Saturday, January 20, 1990, the brothers of Psi Upsilon's Penn chapter kidnapped a rival fraternity member, subjecting him to various forms of physical and mental abuse. Penn kicked Psi U off campus less than five months later.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thedp.com/article/1998/04/the_night_the_castle_crumbled|title=The night the Castle crumbled|first=the, Penn, Daily Pennsylvanian, The Daily Pennsylvanian, Ben|last=Geldon|website=www.thedp.com}}</ref> During the drive, the Psi U officers played a tape of a [[Malcolm X]] speech containing references to violence directed at whites. Because this tape was played at a loud volume O'Flanagan believed that no one would be able to hear any possible cries for help. The Psi U officers and pledges drove O'Flanagan to a secluded playground/park area. O’Flanagan said, “I'm not Sheffield, I'm Billy O'Flanagan." Someone then said, “Oh shit." O'Flanagan replied, Take me back now and I'll forget about it. but they ignored his request. They encircled O'Flanagan whispering to him again the phrase 'Sheffield Deathfield'. O'Flanagan told them that he was not Sheffield. They, however, did not release O'Flanagan. They also taunted O'Flanagan by referring to lynchings in the South, in Alabama. O'Flanagan remained handcuffed to the metal structure for some time. He was barefoot and only minimally clothed, and the night was cold and rainy. O'Flanagan was kept at the playground/park area in the custody of two Psi U pledges while the Psi U officers and pledges who had come to this site went to get food and check in by telephone with [a Psi U officer] at the Psi U fraternity house. Before these Psi U officers and pledges left, one of them said to O’Flanagan, 'We're coming back with something you won’t want to eat.' They then conducted a mock “trial" which consisted in part of O'Flanagan's being subjected to physical discomfort, emotional distress, and repeated and intense verbal abuse.<ref>{{Cite news |date=May 11, 1990 |title=Excerpts from Findings in the Kidnapping Case |pages=9 |work=Daily Pennsylvanian |url=https://dparchives.library.upenn.edu/?a=d&d=tdp19900511-01.2.31&srpos=16&e=------199-en-20--1--txt-txIN-----1990-- }}</ref>
