The lawsuit came after a 20-year-old college student died from alcohol poisoning while pledging a fraternity.

- The family of a student who died from alcohol poisoning while pledging a fraternity will receive nearly $3 million from Bowling Green State University to settle its hazing-related lawsuit, according to an agreement announced Monday.

Stone Foltz, 20, died from alcohol poisoning while pledging the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at Bowling Green State University in March 2021. The settlement with the university is on top of more than $7 million in payouts made to the family by the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and those who had a role in the hazing, according to court documents.

In their lawsuit, Foltz’s parents accused the school of failing to stop hazing in fraternities and sororities despite being aware of it.
