Four members of a University of Alabama fraternity were charged with hazing Tuesday after they allegedly poured beer on pledges, among other claims, during initiation rituals over the summer, according to court filings.

Depositions filed Wednesday in Tuscaloosa County District Court state the abuse began on Aug. 25 in the band room of the Phi Kappa Phi House, where video allegedly showed pledges were forced on their hands and knees as part of “Rules Night.”

Efforts to reach the fraternity were not immediately successful.

The pledges were “yelled at, stepped on, pushed, had items thrown at them and had beer poured on them,” the deposition filed by one of the pledges stated.

The hazing continued three days later, according to the court filings, in the fraternity house’s TV room.

That is when pledges were allegedly forced to line up against a wall and made to do “forced calisthenics, including wall sits and push ups, and being yelled at by active members of the fraternity as part of a ‘line up’ they were forced to participate in as part of their initiation into the fraternity,” the filing claimed.

One of the pledges was then “shoved and struck,” according to the deposition.

The four fraternity members charged — Grant Henry Rakers, 20; Christopher Theodore Molineaux, 22; Charles William Gray, 20; and Joshua Donald Ferrito, 22 — are each facing two counts of misdemeanor hazing. They face up to three months in jail on each count if convicted.

Prosecutors contend they either failed to stop the hazing or report the abuse to authorities, and the members allegedly admitted to their roles in the incident to campus police.

A university spokesman would not disclose whether the fraternity members charged in the case remain enrolled at UA but gave AL.com this statement:

“The University of Alabama strictly prohibits hazing and thoroughly investigates allegations, including appropriate coordination with law enforcement and Greek chapter national organizations. An investigation into hazing violations reported at Pi Kappa Phi is ongoing and led to UAPD serving warrants against several members this week.

“Hazing violates University policy, the Code of Student Conduct, and the law, and it is a matter that the University takes seriously. The University recently updated its hazing policy to strengthen accountability and reporting requirements, and information about resolved hazing violation cases is published on the endhazing.sl.ua.edu website.”
