SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
UT, frat reach agreement after hazing death
Settlement comes in response to hazing incident in fall 2006.
A year and a half after an 18-year-old University of Texas fraternity pledge fell to his death from a fifth-floor balcony, the university and the local chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon announced Tuesday that they've reached an agreement that will allow the fraternity to keep operating if it changes its pledging process and social activities.
But the parents of Tyler Cross say they are disappointed by the agreement. Cross was a freshman from Marietta, Ga., when he died. He had followed in his older brother's footsteps in attending UT and pledging Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
"We are definitely surprised by this agreement and disappointed that we were not contacted or consulted regarding this agreement by either the university or the SAE fraternity advisors and alumni given that our precious son, Tyler, was the victim of the hazing incident that prompted this action," Debbie and Don Cross said in a written statement Tuesday.
