Why this petition matters

Started by Zachary Karam

On November 12th, 2018 Collin Wiant was a victim of Fraternity hazing at Ohio University. Collin ultimately lost his life and became one of many young men and women who have been victims of hazing. On July 9th, 2019, Ohio House Bill 310 was introduced to make hazing a felony in the state of Ohio. This bill has been passed by the Ohio State House of representatives. Here is the link to more information and the status of Ohio House Bill 310 (Collins Law)

I am a Bowling Green State University student and a member of the Greek Life community. On the morning of Friday, March 5th, 2021 Stone Foltz, a new member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity was transported to the hospital and placed on life support due to injuries caused by hazing and later died. Stone deserved better. No parent should ever have to receive the call that their child was a victim of hazing and will not make it. Greek Life is supposed to be a community of people coming together to do good and incite siblinghood. The men who caused Stone and Collin to lose their lives must be held accountable for their reckless actions. 

House Bill 310 needs to be passed as soon as possible so that people who abuse and traumatize others can be properly held accountable in the state of Ohio. Please join me in signing this petition to push the Ohio State Senate to pass House Bill 310 as soon as possible. Ohio would become the 14th state to do so as of March 7th, 2021.
