This edition of the Wooster Voice focuses on a lawsuit that was taken against the college and students attending the college. On January 13, 2000, a former Kappa Chi pledge, Chris Babis, filed a civil suit against the College of Wooster, the Head Baseball Coach Tim Pettorini, the Kappa Chi fraternity, and 26 former members of Kappa Chi. Twelve of the 26 former Kappa members who were named, remained at Wooster during the lawsuit. Babis, through the lawsuit, asked for for $50,000 from each of the 31 defendants. This civil suit stemmed from incidents that occurred on January 20, 1999, when Babis contends that he was kicked, urinated on, and had baseball bats swung at his head while pledging the fraternity. Charges of hazing, which is a fourth-degree misdemeanor, were brought against the four "Hellmasters" for the 1999 Kappa Chi pledge class. All four of the Hellmasters accepted a plea bargin for a reduced charge of disorderly conduct.
