The days of Phi Delta Theta at Drake University are done for four years after an alleged hazing incident led to the near fatal alcohol poisoning of a pledge.

The punishment stems from the alcohol poisoning of a Phi Delta Theta pledge at a Drake neighborhood home on November 8th. Nineteen-year old Nathan Erickson claimed he was forced to drink glasses of Everclear. He was hospitalized with a blood-alcohol level of .50.

Two fraternity members, Skylar Otto and Joseph Hatchett, are charged with misdemeanor hazing in relation to the incident.
