A third member of the Louisiana State University Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity has been cited in a hazing investigation.
Logan Greneaux, 20, is being charged as a principal to criminal hazing and simple battery, LSU police records say. He is the third person to be charged with allegedly hitting pledges.
Brody Tanner, 19, and Thomas Lavergne, 22, were the other two members who were issued summons on Wednesday. Sources say the report was filed on Oct.13 alleging that active members of TKE struck pledges at two different off-campus locations on Oct. 9.
Since the charges of all three were misdemeanors, the trio was not booked into jail or had their mugshots taken.
TKE released a statement after Tanner and Lavergne’s charges were made public.
“When our local chapter learned about the alleged behavior, it 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.”
More arrests could be potentially made as the investigation continues. LSU officials have not commented on the case yet.
