The first recorded hazing death in America was 1826 in Kentucky. The source is the book, Torn Togas
Not heard of it. But if true, at least it wasn't GLO related.

The first GLO in Kentucky was chartered in 1842 at Transylvania University in Lexington by Beta Theta Pi (Epsilon Chapter). My understanding is that the charter moved to Centre College (Danville, Kentucky) in/around 1848.
