Family Files Lawsuit Over Hazing Death
The family of a Utah State University freshman who died following an alcohol-related hazing incident has filed a lawsuit against the school. Attorneys for the family contend that university officials turned a blind eye to a pattern drug and alcohol abuse at the Sigma Nu fraternity chapter that ultimately led to the teenager’s death. The suit seeks unspecified damages against the university and the state. The national organization of the fraternity previously reached an out-of-court settlement with the family.
