A University of Toledo student is suing the school and the president of a sorority for injuries she said were caused in a hazing incident last year.

Jonetta Reed filed the lawsuit last week in Lucas County Common Pleas Court. She said she was paddled on the buttocks and thighs and subjected to other incidents as part of the initiation into the Xi Beta Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority.

Angelia M. Brown, who is president of the chapter, and Lydia C. Thomas are accused of paddling Ms. Reed. They were named as defendants in the complaint, which was assigned to Judge Charles Wittenberg. She is seeking in excess of $25,000 in damages.  more >>
