Alleged worst hazing incident ever leaves college student blind, unable to speak

A Missouri college student was left blind with what's being called "massive brain damage" after a frat that he was pledging hazed him by making him drink an entire bottle of vodka that was taped to his hands.

Daniel Santulli, 19, of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, was pledging to become a member of Phi Gamma Delta at the University of Missouri in October 2021 when the incident happened, according to a lawsuit, the Associated Press reported.

Frat members allegedly forced him to drink it, calling him slurs if he stopped, the Daily Mail reported. He drank until he passed out and members of the frat allegedly waited before rushing him to a hospital.

After the frat allegedly forced Santulli to consume the liquor, he was later discovered in a car outside of Columbia, Missouri's University Hospital, where he was suffering from cardiac arrest, Fox News reported.

Why is this still going on? The frat should be disbanded and sued. Imo

They cause so much destruction, I have seen so many students over the years watch their GPA go into the toilet because of these "organizations". So many who have had to go for substance abuse treatment for alcohol abuse and in the 80's cocaine which was rampant in the frat houses, very few of these return to college.
