Another member of LSU’s Tau Kappa Epsilon chapter has been charged as part of an ongoing investigation, WBRZ reported.
The student was charged with a principle to criminal hazing and simple battery, according to WBRZ.
This was the third TKE member charged this week. On Wednesday, two members were arrested for criminal hazing and simple battery charges.
The charges stem from two different instances earlier this month, WBRZ reported, where members were allegedly hitting pledges.
TKE responded to the charges against it members in a statement to the Reveille.
“When our local chapter learned about the alleged behavior, they proactively self-reported it to university authorities. Tau Kappa Epsilon does not condone violence of any kind and, as more facts are established, we will take appropriate action through our accountability process. Currently, we are supporting the university and law enforcement’s ability to investigate and encourage our members to fully cooperate without interference. We are happy to make further comment at the conclusion of the investigation.”
LSUPD expects to make more arrests as the investigation continues according to a police report obtained by WBRZ.
