Two frat boys from the University of Missouri have been charged in connection with a 19-year-old at the school who was left blind and unable to walk or talk after being forced to down a family-sized bottle of Tito's vodka.
Ryan Delanty and Thomas Shultz were indicted Friday in Missouri's Boone County in connection with the treatment of Daniel Santulli, a teenager whose family say was forced to drink until his heart stopped last October during pledge month at Phi Gamma Delta. Shultz is facing an additional felony charge of tampering with physical evidence.
He has been left permanently and severely disabled as a result, in what his family's lawyer says is the worst-known incident of hazing abuse in US history.
Santulli's family has previously filed civil suits against 23 members of Phi Delta Gamma but this is the first time anyone has been criminally charged.
It's unclear if Delanty and Shultz have been named as defendants in that civil suit.
The two young men are charged with felony hazing and misdemeanors of supplying liquor to a minor or intoxicated person.
Santulli was force-fed beer through a tube and told to down an entire bottle of vodka by his 'fraternity fathers,' including Delanty. At the end of the night, Santulli had a shocking .468 blood alcohol level, six times the legal limit in Missouri.

I can’t believe that this nonsense still happens when it is so widely known what happens to the human body when too much alcohol is forced into it in a short period of time.
Did you mean a 105 shell casing?
hat fraternity should be permanently disbanded, and everyon involved should be criminally prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.
Amen!
I have a question:
When the family learned of the on-going hazing actions where he was driven to the point of exhaustion and emotion pain, WHY THE 451556564 did they pick up a phone to call the University/College.
They do bear some responsibility.
I find out my kid is doing something this detrimental, you can bet your arse I would be raising hell. It would have been the FREAKING first call I make - to the university/college and the SECOND call would be to a local prosecutor... or ANYONE that has a bone to pick with Frats and hazing.....
My child can curse me out for the rest of his life; at least he’d be functionally able to curse me out.
Correction:
When the family learned of the on-going hazing actions where he was driven to the point of exhaustion and emotion pain, WHY THE 451556564 DIDN’T they pick up a phone to call the University/College.
Did you mean a 105 shell casing?
I wondered the same thing. A 105 is bad enough; but a 155 is as tall as a man's chest. Here is the 105(looks like 2 liters) and the 155 next to a soda can:
The 155 is just the round though, it doesn’t have a casing, plus it weighs about 93 or 98 pounds.
The powder bags are separate and rammed in behind the 155 shell.
