Eight members of the now-defunct Southeast Louisiana University chapter of the
Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority were arrested this month for charges related to an
alleged hazing incident in January, campus officials announced Friday. In June,
the university ordered the 15-member sorority chapter in Hammond into inactive
status for three years, after which they may reapply for reinstatement. While
officials with the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Department said the eight AKA
sisters were booked on counts of hazing, false imprisonment or other violations,
it declined to specify the incident that triggered the arrests, which occurred
between Aug. 11 and 19. Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Dawn Panepinto said that it
describing the incident would be inappropriate since an investigation is ongoing. Three students have been suspended for a year; two were suspended for a semester;
and three were given disciplinary probation, which allows them to go to classes under certain conditions.
