A new anti-hazing bill has been filed in Louisiana ahead of the upcoming legislative session in honor of Caleb Wilson, a fraternity pledge who tragically died in 2017. The bill is aimed at cracking down on hazing incidents in the state and holding those responsible accountable for their actions.
Caleb Wilson was a freshman at Louisiana State University when he died during a hazing ritual at the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house. Since his death, his family has been working tirelessly to push for stricter anti-hazing laws to ensure that no other family has to go through the pain and loss they experienced.
The bill, known as the Caleb Wilson Act, seeks to increase penalties for hazing incidents, including fines of up to $10,000 and jail time for those found guilty of hazing. It also aims to promote awareness and education about the dangers of hazing, as well as provide support for victims and their families.
Supporters of the bill hope that it will send a strong message that hazing will not be tolerated in Louisiana and that those who engage in such behavior will face serious consequences. They believe that by strengthening anti-hazing laws, they can prevent future tragedies like the one that befell Caleb Wilson.
The filing of the Caleb Wilson Act comes at a critical time, as hazing incidents continue to plague college campuses across the country. Lawmakers and advocates are hopeful that this bill will set a precedent for other states to follow and help put an end to the dangerous and destructive practice of hazing once and for all.
