Summary
Oct. 26 raids at two West Virginia University fraternity houses sent campus and local police into Lambda Chi Alpha and Pi Kappa Alpha properties to seize bags and cases of evidence tied to hazing allegations.
Anonymous hazing accusations had already put Lambda Chi Alpha on interim suspension on Oct. 9, while PIKE was also under investigation but had not been suspended as of the searches.
WVU said it was treating student safety as a priority and would release no further details while the investigations remain active.
The case adds to a broader wave of fraternity hazing probes nationwide, which hazing-prevention expert Michael Ayalon said reflects tougher transparency rules after the 2024 Stop Campus Hazing Act more than proof hazing itself is rising.
