FBI joins investigation into Emory frat house graffiti

The FBI has joined the investigation into offensive graffiti painted on a Jewish fraternity house at Emory University, the university said Tuesday night.

Early Sunday, the Alpha Epsilon Pi house was targeted, within hours of the observance of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Judaism. Additional anti-Semitic marks were found Monday on a wall near the fraternity, an Emory spokeswoman said.

The graffiti, including swastikas, was painted over quickly. By Sunday night, the Emory president decried the actions in a campus-wide message. Other community groups also condemned the acts.
