Booking documents say LSU fraternity pledge Gruver was targeted by members during hazing

LSU fraternity pledge Maxwell Gruver, who died in September following a hazing event called "Bible Study," was "targeted" in the drinking game, according to the arrest reports of 10 men, eight of whom were active members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity at LSU.
Matthew Alexander Naquin, Zachary Castillo, Elliott Eaton, Patrick Forde, Sean Paul Gott, Zachary Hall, Ryan Isto, Hudson Kirkpatrick, Sean Pennison and Nicholas Taulli were booked into Parish Prison Wednesday afternoon all on a count of hazing. Naquin was also booked on negligent homicide.
Naquin, Gott and Isto were listed as the active fraternity members who were the "main members" of the hazing, according to arrest reports. Naquin was singled out as the member that was "the most aggressive by far during the hazing event" and "in charge of the hazing event."
Gott was enrolled at LSU at the time, but has since dropped out.
All ten men wanted on hazing counts in connection with the death of 18-year-old Maxwell Gruver, a pledge at Phi Delta Theta fraternity, turned themselves in Wednesday to the LSU Police Department.
“Are you ready for bible study,” Naquin said, according to his arrest report. “Y’all better do well, I’m already f----- up.”
Police said pledges were then told to make a single file line and go upstairs, where Gott threw mustard and hot sauce on them, the reports say. The pledges then lined up in the hallway with their nose and toes against the wall while loud music played and a strobe light was flashing.
Several active members were upstairs at the time of the event, the report says.
Two active members interviewed by police said they told Naquin and Gott to “cut it out” and “slow it down,” but they wouldn’t stop, according to the report.
Naquin continually yelled at the pledges, including Gruver who kept messing up the Greek alphabet after the pledges were told to recite it, and forced them to take drinks from a type of alcohol called Diesel, which is 190 proof, according to the report. The pledges were also forced to do wall sits and planks during the event.
One pledge who was next to Gruver during the hazing event said Gruver took at least 10 to 12 long drinks from the Diesel, while most pledges took three to four, the reports say.
Multiple pledges said they thought Naquin, Gott and Isto were mad at Gruver for always being late to events, according to the report. One pledge said Naquin stated several days before that he wanted to “cut” Gruver from the pledging process, the report says.

I get hazing in a fraternity. I was in one. I was hazed and I did haze. But forcing kids to drink large amounts of alcohol to the point of alcohol poisoning is such an idiotic and depraved act that I have zero sympathy for these members.

Didn't know "hazing" was classified as an actual crime. What kind of time do you get for hazing?
Would think hazing that results in a fatality is quite different than regular hazing. They are fricked either way.

In regards to the targeting of Gruver during the hazing, I've heard that is was in an effort to get him to quit the fraternity.
They were trying to get him to quit because his mother supposedly threaten the fraternity, that she would report to the university that they had alcohol at other events where its prohibited, if they cut Gruver. This was after he had told his mother that he was afraid they were about to cut him.
Not claiming any of this is true, just relaying things that I've heard that could explain why they were targeting him.

So thankful my friends and I survived our stupid years. We did some really stupid stuff to ourselves and to each other. So thankful too that we didn't have modern technology to document it permanently in the cloud!

Forcing? I didn't click the link, but unless they physically held him and poured alcohol down his throat or he did it out of fear that they would harm him, then he made a choice and is responsible for the outcome.

I think it's one thing to make someone wear a pussy hat all day around campus, but I guess the line is drawn at physical harm and death.

I don't know the motives behind these kids' actions, but I easily did some very stupid things in college that could have turned out very badly for me and others.

Then stop saying dumb shite like that. I've been to jail, didn't have any issues with anyone. Except the one time I ate half of something on my plate, they didnt appreciate that too much.

Any fraternity that gave these goofy dudes bids was just asking for trouble.
