The Associated Press is reporting that the U of Southern Mississippi has shut down the Kappa Sigma chapter, and that students are being helped to move out of the house.

Brief excerpt from posted article:
The University of Southern Mississippi has revoked the charter of Kappa Sigma fraternity after an alleged hazing incident that left two female students hospitalized.
President Martha Saunders said Thursday that the fraternity has acknowledged its participation in an event this past week at its house on the USM campus.
One student remained hospitalized Thursday in intensive care, Saunders said. . . .
Comment: I hope the young woman who is in intensive care makes a full recovery. A week (and maybe more, who knows) in an ICU is one heck of a way to start the school year.
Edited again to add: BTW, the U of Southern Mississippi and a
different fraternity -- Sigma Nu -- are recently reported by a Jackson news source to have reached an out-of-court settlement with the parents of a man who died a few years ago in an incident related to alcohol consumption:
