Asian kid gets hazed
According to this article:
- LUBBOCK - This transfer student from a small Christian college near Seattle, Wash., had a rocky first semester at Texas Tech.
Steven Nguyen, 20, arrived at Tech last fall, looking for new opportunities at a bigger school.
Instead, he dropped out mid-semester, shortly after he accused Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity members of forcing him to drink and beating him as part of his initiation, which violates state and university hazing laws.
The incident, which spurred the closure of the troubled chapter, is briefly described in a university police log dated Sept. 15, 2007: “Officer Gilster investigated an assault that occurred at an off campus fraternity party. A student was transported to the University Medical Center for treatment for injuries from the assault. See incident report #07-1543.”
Tech’s student discipline office later determined the chapter broke the university’s code of conduct.
