New postings show wide range of Pennsylvania college hazing

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania colleges and universities began posting online reports Tuesday on documented cases of hazing over the past five years, from forced drinking and toe-licking to the dunking of students in ice water, as required by a law passed as a result of the 2017 death of a Penn State fraternity pledge.

The reports describe the behavior and any discipline that resulted, including closing fraternities and sororities and expelling students. Some also include reports that were disproven or could not be corroborated.

Tougher anti-hazing legislation was enacted last year in response to the death of Tim Piazza of Lebanon, New Jersey.
