First, from all of us at Shamieh Law, our hearts go out to the Gruver Family during this tragic time.

As we discussed in an earlier blog post, hazing is a very real, ongoing threat with the potential to end a bright, promising life, like Max Gruver’s. We encourage parents, students, families and friends to discuss this difficult topic with their college students. Although Max’s case is still under investigation, it appears that his death is connected to a hazing incident by the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. The last LSU hazing death happened in 1997 [1].
Phi Delta Theta General Headquarters suspended their LSU chapter and is planning a special investigation [2].
“We’re committed to investigating this situation thoroughly. The chapter and any individuals who are found to have violated our policies will be held accountable,” said Bob Biggs, executive vice president and CEO at Phi Delta Theta General Headquarters, in a statement released Thursday [3].
There are allegations that Max Gruver’s death was related to hazing and alcohol, but LSU president F. King Alexander cautioned that it is still an “evolving situation.”
