The death of a freshman pledge of Sigma Pi at the University of Buffalo is drawing attention to similar incidents at other chapters of the fraternity.
Six months prior to the death of Sebastian Serafin-Bazan at the UB chapter, Ohio University freshman Collin Wiant died at an incident at that school’s Sigma Pi chapter due to ingesting nitrous oxide. The national fraternity has denied wrongdoing in that case.
Also last November, the Sigma Pi chapter at University of Colorado Boulder was forced to cease operations after young women claimed they were drugged at the house. That case was dropped due to lack of proof.
Serafin-Bazan, a UB Freshman, died yesterday after an alleged hazing incident.
