PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Brown University is investigating homophobic and anti-Semitic graffiti found in a campus building that houses a Jewish fraternity and a fraternity with many LGBTQ members.

The graffiti was discovered early Friday morning scrawled across the house’s walls.
A university spokesman tells the Providence Journal that Beta Rho Pi, a Jewish fraternity, and Zeta Delta Xi, a co-ed fraternity with many LGBTQ members, live in the house.
