"A case before the Indiana Supreme Court this month could set the stage for the state’s first jury trial examining the responsibility that colleges and fraternities have to protect students from hazing.
But before that can happen the state’s high court must decide a more basic question: Does the personal injury lawsuit that former Wabash College student Brian Yost filed even merit a trial?
Yost’s broader case centers on whether Wabash or Phi Kappa Psi, known on campus as Phi Psi, had a duty to ensure his safety -- specifically after a string of hazing and alcohol-related problems at the private school in Crawfordsville, Ind. More than a half dozen incidents since 2000, including the deaths of two underage students who had been drinking, prompted sanctions against fraternities."
So, how much liability/responsibility does an organization or a college have in a hazing issue?
I've always wondered about this. The college and the organization cannot watch 24/7 over the members to see what is happening. But, if the college or organization are aware of past behaviors in a chapter, shouldn't they step in to make sure the members/new members are safe?
And, in this case, the "creeking" and "showering", was it actually hazing?
