Summary

  • Two LSU fraternities — Delta Kappa Epsilon and Phi Gamma Delta — were placed on interim suspension as the university investigates hazing allegations reported to have surfaced in a Sept. 3 complaint.
  • One complaint said DKE members made a pledge do wall sits while “actively waterboarding” him, while FIJI pledges were allegedly forced to chug a gallon of chocolate milk until many vomited.
  • The report also said FIJI pledges were ordered to bring a squirrel to a meeting, and the complainant asked to remain anonymous.
  • DKE’s international fraternity said it is aware of the allegations, is cooperating with authorities and will decide further action after the facts are established.
