No matter how hard schools crack down on hazing, it continues to be an issue.

Hazing Allegations Investigated in Buffalo State Student’s Death

The authorities in western New York are investigating whether fraternity hazing played a role in the death of a 21-year-old Buffalo State College student from Brooklyn, the college said on Friday.

The student, Bradley Doyley, died on Thursday night in a Buffalo hospital, the college’s president, Katherine S. Conway-Turner, said in a statement. The authorities did not disclose the nature of Mr. Doyley’s death, but The Buffalo News reported that he had been hospitalized after falling ill in January while he was trying to join the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. He might have consumed hazardous liquids as part of a hazing event, the newspaper reported.

Buffalo State College, part of the State University of New York system, has suspended the campus chapter of the fraternity, Dr. Conway-Turner said, citing an investigation by the police into “an allegation of hazing involving Alpha Phi Alpha and Bradley Doyley at an off-campus location.”

The national fraternity, which has also suspended the local chapter, did not immediately return messages for comment.
