Hazing victim left blind and unable to communicate months after frat party, lawyer says

After months in rehab, triggered by an intense instance of hazing at the University of Missouri, a former fraternity pledge is finally back home — though he is still unable to communicate, walk or even see.

Danny Santulli was a freshman and aspiring member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, commonly known as “Fiji,” when the incident unfolded during an October 2021 party. The 19-year-old student was allegedly force-fed beer through a tube and ordered to down a bottle of vodka by his brothers, which resulted in a severe case of alcohol poisoning.

“He has massive brain damage,” his lawyer, David Bianchi, told the Columbia Daily Tribune Tuesday, adding that his mother has been forced to quit her job to provide him full-time care.
