University of Chicago Student Sues Fraternity Over Hazing

A University of Chicago student filed suit against the Illinois chapter and national organization of Phi Delta Theta fraternity Friday, alleging he was physically assaulted and forced to drink alcohol until he blacked out.

Dylan Kanaan filed the suit in Cook County Circuit Court against the fraternity and 13 of its members, according to the lawsuit.

Kanaan alleges that on March 7, 2015, he was required to participate in a fraternity ritual, sometimes referred to as a “pinning ceremony”. After the ceremony, he was forced to drink about eight shots of liquor and six beers in 20-30 minutes even though he was told there would be no alcohol, the suit said.

A fraternity member then pressured him into drinking a cup of clear-green liquid containing Everclear, a grain liquor that is 190 proof, the suit said. Kanaan then blacked out and was taken to Ford’s bedroom in the basement of the fraternity house, where he was physically assaulted.

When he regained consciousness, he attempted to run out of the house but was restrained by the fraternity members, the suit said. He later escaped through the back door and ran around to the front, where he was physically assaulted again by a fraternity member.
