Conflicting reports in Delhi case

Delphi – Was it bullying, hazing or assault? That is what police in Delphi are trying to determine following a locker room incident last week involving four Delphi High School students.
Delphi High School is the latest to field an allegation of locker room hazing, bullying or assault.
“My son had showered and put on some shorts and a T-shirt. The boys ages 17, 18 and 19 approached him, pinned him and held him against his will,” said the father of the alleged victim.

In a Superior Court complaint, Courtney Howard details how she and fellow San Jose State University students were roughed up while pledging the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority in late-2008. After Howard, 20, reported the hazing to police and university officials, she charges that sorority members began to harass and threaten her. Howard, pictured at right, subsequently left the school, and is now enrolled at the University of Southern California.
In her lawsuit, excerpted here, Howard noted that she had originally planned to pledge Alpha Kappa Alpha, the oldest African-American women’s sorority. But since the sorority’s San Jose chapter has been suspended due to hazing activities, Howard opted to join Sigma Gamma Rho, believing that “they represented the ‘sisterhood’ she sought in a sorority.â€
