Four fraternity members at SDSU face felony charges related to a skit where a pledge was set on fire, resulting in severe third-degree burns. The incident occurred during a hazing event, which has reignited discussions about campus fraternity culture and safety.
Prosecutors allege that during a party skit, fraternity members planned to have one pledge light another on fire, leading to serious injuries. The skit appears to be part of a troubling pattern that highlights ongoing issues within SDSU’s Greek life.
Lars Larsen, the pledge injured in the skit, faced weeks of hospitalization due to extensive burns. The incident, while shocking, is not isolated; many SDSU fraternities have faced scrutiny for hazardous practices.
