With the parents of Timothy Piazza flanking him on the steps of the Centre County courthouse, Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman (R-Centre) today introduced legislation bearing the deceased Penn State student’s name to increase the punishments for hazing.
Pointing to his own time as a Greek, Corman — whose district includes State College — said the bill was an attempt to prevent any deaths from initiation rites in the state’s fraternities, sororities or other organizations by adding stiff consequences.
