Former Phi Kappa Sigma pledge James Haussman’s lawsuit against Tulane University has brought attention back to a persistent issue in the state of Louisiana: hazing. In more recent years, hazing in Louisiana has been defined by the deaths of Caleb Wilson and Max Gruver. In 2017, Max Gruver, a student at Louisiana State University, was forced to drink an excessive amount of alcohol by members of Phi Delta Theta. In response to Gruver’s death, Louisiana introduced the Max Gruver Act, making hazing a felony. The fraternity house was later demolished and replaced with a Tulane University Police Department substation.
