Iota only non-sued NPHC?

[naraht]

(I originally posted this over in the risk management thread and it was suggested that I repost over on "greek life")


There is a claim in the Hilltop online (Howard U.'s student newspaper) (http://www.thehilltoponline.com/news/813966.html ) by an Iota that Iota Phi Theta is the only member of the NPHC that has not been sued for Hazing.

While I could believe that it was the only *Fraternity* member of the NPHC not to be sued for Hazing (I personally can remember suits for the Alphas, Omegas and Kappas), I find the idea that all of the Sororities in the NPHC have been sued sort of surprising given the reaction to the deaths of the Pledges of the underground chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha in Los Angeles this past year.

So, does anyone have any information on
1) Have the Iotas never been sued for hazing?
2) Have all of the other eight members of the NPHC been sued for hazing?

1) Yes it is true. Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. has never been sued for hazing.

2) I know for a fact that 7 of the 8 other organizations unfortunately have been sued for hazing. I have not verified if the other organization has been, but fraternal organization researchers have insinuated that they have (but I've seen no evidence). Until I know it for a fact, I will just say all but one.

Thank you for the information on question 1.

If you would like to send the info that you have been sent on question 2 in a PM, I'll include that in my own research.

Thank You
