N.H. Students Face Charges For Sorority Hazing
PLYMOUTH, N.H. (CBS4) ―
Four students at Plymouth State University have been charged with hazing, providing alcohol to minors and simple assault.
Police are investigating what they believe is a series of hazing incidents off-campus this fall involving women pledging Chi Alpha Zeta, a non-sanctioned, non-recognized sorority.
Warrants and affidavits in support of their arrests have been sealed and details of the incident haven't been released.
The Union Leader reports police have arrested 21-year-old students Meagan Ford of Lyndeborough; Jillian Sargent of Wilton; Amanda Gomes of Barrington, R.I.; and Alana Hokans of Wethersfield, Conn. A former Plymouth State student also was charged.
Three years ago, student Kelly Nester was killed while pledging another unsanctioned sorority. She died when a sport utility vehicle carrying pledges crashed.
