The family of a fraternity pledge who died in 2012 is suing North Carolina’s High Point University, alleging that hazing led to his death and that school officials had knowledge of the fraternity’s conduct.
The News & Record of Greensboro reports that the lawsuit, filed last Wednesday in Guilford County Superior Court, claims that the son of university president Nido Qubein was among the instigators of the alleged hazing of Robert Eugene Tipton Jr., 22. The suit states that Tipton was “hazed viciously by members of Delta Sig at the direction of [Nido’s son, Michael] Qubein,” who is also accused of taking possession of and deleting texts from the victim’s phone.
