POCONO SUMMIT, Pa. (AP) — Five fraternity members, including its former national president, have been charged in the Pennsylvania hazing death of a freshman pledge from a New York City college.
Police reported last week they had arrested suspects in waves, moving from least to most culpable. A grand jury recommended charges for 37 people
in the December 2013 death of Chun “Michael” Deng, a student at Baruch College.
Authorities say staggering the arrests will keep courts from being overwhelmed.
Former Pi Delta Psi President Andy Meng and four members were charged with hazing, conspiracy and hindering apprehension.
Police say fraternity members waited an hour to take Deng to the hospital after he fell unconscious while weighted down and forced to run a gauntlet.
