— Seven members of an Indiana University fraternity are being criminally charged for seriously injuring two pledges through hazing. Court records state that the seven students were members of the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. An investigation into the frat started in October 2025 during homecoming weekend after police received reports of hazing happening with pledges in the fraternity’s chapter room. Two of the pledges were hospitalized for multiple days as a result of the extreme hazing during the “New Member Committee” event. Others in the frat told police that Patel was one of the members supervising the “New Member Committee” event.
