St. Joseph’s University Cancels Remainder of Softball Season After Hazing Investigation

St. Joseph’s University announced Friday that they have suspended the women’s softball team for the remainder of the season.

The decision comes after a university investigation of hazing allegations against four students on the team.

Action News had previously reported that freshman players were given written instructions on things they had to do or there would be consequences.

It’s alleged that those students had to consume alcohol, perform sexual acts involving inappropriate touching and lap dances, and other acts to graphic to outline.

In a letter obtained by Action News, one of the suspended players concedes – in her words – “You know just as well as I do, our team had a freshman welcome week, there is no denying that.”

The player acknowledged the existence of the letter outlining those things, but she says everything was meant to be voluntary.

The player says she now realizes that some students may have thought that they were required.
