Summary of incident
An anonymous complaint dated September 3, 2026 (some later reporting gives September 4) alleged hazing at the LSU Delta Kappa Epsilon chapter, including that a person was made to do wall sits while being waterboarded; a later report also referenced an alleged broken collarbone. LSU imposed an interim suspension on the chapter's activities while investigating. A September 28, 2026 WAFB follow-up reported that seven DKE members were charged with misdemeanor hazing; the members are not named in the available reporting and no arrests were described. Charges are accusations, not convictions. The reporting did not specify the chapter's LSU chapter designation.
