It was the Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi’s “scumbag of the week” tradition that led to the hospitalization of a student at Florida State University, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.

Investigators say members of the now-suspended fraternity were participating in a game called “scumbag of the week,” in which a member is singled out in the group’s chapter meeting and later punished, according to WCTV. The 20-year-old victim was chosen to be slapped, and the battery led to a fractured skull and two brain bleeds.

Oliver Walker, 20, is facing charges of culpable negligence inflicting injury and battery, the Tallahassee Democrat reported. Walker reportedly slapped the victim, who was knocked to the floor unconscious.

However, the affidavit states that “insufficient evidence was found to charge any of the persons involved with the crime of hazing.”

Walker was a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi but not a registered student, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
