US fraternity hazing criminal prosecutions

Overview

In late July 2026, South Florida authorities charged three men with felonies after a four‑day Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity hazing that left two victims with severe injuries. The charges included attempted manslaughter, aggravated battery and hazing with a deadly weapon.

A week later, in early August 2026, seven members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at Indiana University were indicted on felony hazing charges after a ritual in October 2025 caused two pledges to be hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis. Additional obstruction‑of‑justice charges were filed for attempts to conceal the injuries.

Both cases illustrate a pattern of aggressive legal action against fraternity hazing across different campuses, underscoring ongoing concerns about dangerous initiation practices in U.S. higher‑education institutions.
