A hazing investigation involving the Gamma Iota Omicron fraternity at Washington State University (WSU) is currently in progress. According to an update on the WSU website, the investigation pertains to an alleged hazing incident that occurred in the spring. Specific details about the allegation have not been disclosed on the webpage.

In accordance with state law, WSU is obligated to report allegations of violations related to Greek organizations on campus. This requirement stems from “Sam’s Law,” which was enacted following the death of WSU student Sam Martinez in 2019 from alcohol poisoning after attending a party hosted by the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.
