hazing

“This definitely sends a message to would-be hazers across the country to take pause and think about what you’re doing,” said Gruver's father.

In all, according to the UL Lafayette website, two hazing incidents were reported in 2021, and four were reported in 2022.

The former LSU fraternity member convicted of negligent homicide in a hazing death that made national headlines in 2017 has been released from prison just months after his sentence began.

The incident resulted in the banning of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity from campus until at least 2033, and the passage of a much harsher set of felony level hazing penalties.

The prosecution says Naquin was primarily responsible for the death and was the ringleader of the hazing incident where Gruver was pressured into drinking himself to death.

One student is facing up to five years in prison in connection with the death of Max Gruver in 2017.

A fraternity at LSU is shutdown and suspended until at least 2018 for incidents that involved forced alcohol consumption, physical abuse, and theft against new members.
