I know hospitals are required to report certain things like gunshots and suspected child abuse but I think they are breaking some sort of doctor patient privelege if they are giving out confidential information to a university administrator/greek advisor.

I didn't read that the doctor gave the info to the greek advisor....there was a police report which isn't privledged info. That's probably where the university was notified. I don't know why the university police filed the report, though....unless IU has a med center on campus.
The other side of the coin is that the student
may have given the doctor permission to report it. He may have seen it as his way out of pledging a chapter that wasn't living up to his expectations. Who knows?
