King's estate reached confidential settlements in recent years with the Kappa Sigma fraternity and dozens of individual defendants.
The Alpha Sigma Tau sorority was assigned 35% responsibility, requiring the national organization to pay $2.73 million to King's estate.
With delay of damages, King's estate expects to collect $3.5 million from the sorority.
The jury allocated 35% responsibility to the Kappa Sigma fraternity, 24% responsibility to King and 1% to each of six fraternity members.
The estate's lawsuit claimed Alpha Sigma Tau ignored policy violations, hazing and underage drinking for years before King's death.
