0:52Now PlayingTwo former Penn State fraternity leaders pleaded guilty to charges connected to the 2017 obstacle course hazing death of sophomore Timothy Piazza.
Brendan Young and Daniel Casey were the president and vice president of Beta Theta Pi on Feb. 2, 2017, when 14 pledges participated in a drinking “obstacle course” as part of their bid for acceptance into the frat.
The fraternity, which was supposed to be alcohol-free because of a suspension eight years prior, lined the pledges up in the basement and forced them to down approximately three shots of vodka from a “handle,” before running the “gauntlet,” which featured chugging a beer, guzzling wine from a bag, and playing beer pong.
Piazza, 19, who had an empty stomach, was among the pledges to consume the large quantity of alcohol during the night.
