Family members of freshman Adam Oakes and a Virginia senator are backing an adoption of stronger anti-hazing legislation more than a month after Oakes’ death at an off-campus Delta Chi fraternity event.
Both Courtney White, Adam Oakes’ cousin, and Eric Oakes, Adam Oakes’ father, are pushing to make hazing a felony. They aim to advocate for other states to amend similar laws in the future.
“We can’t bring Adam back and we understand that, but we can protect another life from being lost by modifying the law,” White said.
