LSU is investigating an alleged criminal hazing incident that took place at an on-campus fraternity house during rush week.
The alleged criminal hazing occurred on Aug. 21 at the Kappa Sigma fraternity house. LSUPD began its investigation the next day.
“This is an ongoing investigation,” a university spokesperson told the Reveille Thursday.
In 2021, the university found the Kappa Sigma fraternity responsible for endangerment, coercive behavior, failure to comply and alcohol violations after a student needed an “alcohol medical transport” from a party. The fraternity was also placed on interim suspension at the time for holding a large party that violated pandemic restrictions.
The fraternity was also initially charged with hazing that year, but was not found responsible for those charges. It remained on campus after reaching a settlement with the university and faced a deferred suspension until 2022 and a disciplinary probation until 2023.
A previous version of this story misstated the date of the alleged incident. We regret this error and the article has since been corrected.
