The Fraternity Docket

This is a catalog of fraternity brothers who allegedly hazed, abused, physically and sexually assaulted, raped, committed drug and alcohol related crimes, or were witnesses to those acts and chose to remain silent.
In most cases, justice failed through failed investigations, dropped charges or lesser punishments.

We believe social justice can be as powerful as legal justice.

Enough is enough.

THEY MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

Summary of incident

The Pennsylvania attorney general's August 17, 2026 announcement names Lars Zeepvat alongside Agostino Abbatiello, Thomas Robinson, Mohammed Hurabi and others as defendants charged with felony corrupt organizations, conspiracy, dealing in proceeds of unlawful activity and related offenses in an alleged cocaine-trafficking operation during 2023 and 2024. Authorities allege cocaine was cut and packaged primarily at the Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi houses. The September 2 update says the six felony defendants' cases were bound over for county court; the October 14 update describes their cases as pending. These are criminal charges, not convictions. The cited announcement does not establish Zeepvat's individual fraternity membership; the editor identifies him as affiliated with Sigma Chi. An exact incident date is not established; 2023 marks the start of the reported 2023–2024 period.
