A former Indiana University student has filed a lawsuit against a fraternity, claiming he permanently injured his hand during a hazing incident two years ago.
Chase Coslett, who was an 18-year-old freshman at IU in February 2003 when he says he was injured, also said fraternity brothers tried to persuade him to lie about how he was hurt and later threatened him, causing him to change schools.
The lawsuit, filed last week in Monroe Circuit Court, names Sigma Nu, the fraternity's alumni association, the local chapter and 10 fraternity members.
